I always pretended to be the teacher’s pet, it has great benefits. I was always sent on errands, to the AV room, the office and elsewhere, I always knew exactly how long I could push it before I had to get back to class. The teachers also would bump my grade up if it was close.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s with films and filmstrips. I “get” the advantage of VHS and DVDs in schools. But films and filmstrips could be shown on a large screen and have more impact. Most classrooms in the 80s and beyond had a 27 inch monitor…maybe 32 inch if they had money. Not bad, but not the same impact.

That’s called AV guys getting out of class to go play in the AV room, until a teacher catches them.

Well, Mr. Fogarty, you just killed a class make-out moment.

Do they still use those old things? They were using them in the 60’s when I went to school!

Remember that episode of THE FAR SIDE with the military slide show where a slide showing a nuclear mushroom got put in upside down?
