Why Does It Take a Charter School?

Don't even go there.

I mean, don't even try to imagine how much outdated technology has landed in the garbage containers of CCSD's schools over the last 20 years. We already know the stories of pulling perfectly good textbooks out of them. Let's not torture ourselves.

According to Thursday's P&C, Orange Grove CHARTER Elementary has had a better idea--recycle it to raise money. While this idea may seem obvious, apparently it never has occurred to the folks at 75 Calhoun. See School Recycling Old Technology.

If CCSD has done so before, I will be glad to be proved wrong. Meanwhile, if you wish to support Orange Grove Charter, here is a list of desired obsolete items:

The school is recycling used cell phones, inkjet and laser cartridges, laptops, PDAs, iPods, video games, GPS Systems, DVD's, scientific and graphing calculators, LCD monitors and digital cameras.

These may be dropped off at the school between April 12 and 14.
