I am a dedicated teacher is a VERY poor rural school district in southwest missouri. It seems that I spend so much of my own money on supplies. I am trying to figure out a way to purchase equipment to use in the classroom. I use my own computer and want to expose my students to all of the wonderful information found on the internet. Science changes and updates (pluto) everyday but textbooks (my class) are 12 years old. No new ones in sight for a few more years. I have asked companies for samples. I have researched buying from schools that are selling surplus equipment. I need a digital projector, current texts and so much more. I have researched grants, federal dollars, everthing! Any suggestions on what to do? I am exhausted! and thinking of a career change.
