Although our school is dedicated to its students' present and future success, NYC budget cuts limit us to the barest necessities in terms of technology. Our overworked copiers make a classroom printer/copier a definite boon. Our student laptops are stretched equally thin, presently a problem when I need to work individually with a senior on her research paper. While our students have -- and love -- their phones, their access to home computers is sadly limited, and many of them work or take care of younger siblings, making coordinating their after-school schedules with library hours a challenge. A laptop allows me to work side-by-side after school without needing to reserve the over-requested laptops. And this paper matters - graduates have reported the experience of researching and writing a 10 page paper mostly independently saved them from being totally overwhelmed in college and failing.
