When I wrote this I forgot that you are
in high school. If it is a similar situation
as here in Germany, then there can't be much done
about this. Nobody realizes the waste of human
resources in school, and who finally pays the bill.
Sometimes it makes sense to talk to the parents
to collect some money or donate a older machine.
