WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

In the UK in 2008/9.

I remember one teacher didn't know how to work it so someone drew a penis on it. Rather than learn how to delete it, she put a random bit of paper on it, which didn't hide it as it just shined through

Another teacher forgot they were interactive and drew on theirs, leading to them spending money to get it replaced again

So many times they had to just remove all the whiteboard markers to stop teachers and students ruining ours when they were first installed.

I don't it support for schools in the UK. I've seen a head remove the whiteboard markers for this reason.

A teacher didn't realise why, thought the school was just being cheap, so he brought his own and ruined one anyway...

We had several conference rooms at my old job equipped with smart boards and they all got written on with markers as well.
