In T5, Temple Moor's braindead ideasmen decided that all the computer CPUs should be housed in two corners of the classroom, behind a wooden board. Clever, huh? This restricts pupils' control over their computers. Sure, the "power" button on the keyboard can turn it off - but you must get back up to turn it on. USB ports are available, too. But what if you needed to plug in headphones or something like that? Well, tough. But Temple Moor's stuck with this mad method, and now it's cost them and pupils.
Half of T5's computers today were inactive and not working. Why? We weren't told (if you know, stick it in the comments, please) - but we suspect there was a roof leak and all the CPUs are now internally fried and won't run. Either that or something overheated, causing them all to break. Way to go TMHS!
It just goes to show that the only original ideas at Temple Moor are the ones that fail.

Ha!
I was doing work experience with the techies when all those computers, monitors etc arrived, carrying the damn things was no fun.
Also installed windows on most of em...and just appreciate you never had to turn em on before they had power buttons...
Used to have to get a screwdriver, and try and spark the gap between the two pins. No fun if it went wrong.
Glad it's finally gone wrong for em!
Did you not see the hole in the ceiling above the CPUs? Or perhaps the bits of ceiling located on the floor?
Roof leak...
Our class was told there was a roof leak but then they were working the next day.
I thought when the inside of a PC got wet, thats it.
You can actually use headphones by unplugging wires behind the monitor, but kids keep drawing on the screens with permanent markers.
