    Shiiit the overhead projectors were the worst. Most teachers didn't know how to set them properly up or the machine was screwed itself, so the picture was blurry, tilted and hard to read as s---. Oh how I still hate those.


    EDIT: Not to mention that most teachers wrote on those plastic sheets by hand, so decyphering the handwriting was another thing.

    If they don't use projectors what do they use now? Surely I can't be that old, we still had them when I was in high school

    Just nicer ones hanging from the ceiling. Some of my classes have the nicer ones, and there's even pens that interact with the projector where if you write on the surface the projector is shining on, it'll show up on the screen so it's like having chalk and chalkboard

    But half my classes still use that old s---
