This is based on my personal experience with the California special education system in the 1970's and 1980's. Also based on personal observations while the school districts don't have money for school supplies and reducing classroom size, they have no problem finding money to build a brand new football field in recent years. From my conversations with other people across the country, this seems to be the norm for public education.
These particular Cisco routers and switches weren't part of IT. You will need to ask the development engineers why they don't save their configs and/or document their changes. Or why they don't heed the numerous month-long warnings that facility will shut down the building power for required maintenance.
The last time I rebuilt my gaming PC was before the Great Recession in 2007. After being out of work for two years (2009-2010), filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2011, and having so many short-term jobs in the last few years that I lost count, I'm financially back to where I was before the Great Recession came and went. Replacing the game PC has been a low priority for a great many years.
That's more likely to happen with Cisco routers and switches after the power goes out. "Opps! I forgot to save the config after I made that change five years ago."
The state pays the school district a certain amount of money for each student who attends for a full school day. For this example, let's say $1 per day for a normal student. The state pays $3 (3 x $1) per day for a special ed student to compensate for whatever special needs. Most often or not, the school district will keep the $3 and have the special ed student shoved into a regular classroom (sometimes that means having a desk outside of the classroom). With the public education system, collecting the money was the primary educational objective.
My community college couldn't afford to renew the Microsoft site license when I went back to school to learn computer programming after the dot com bust. Everything was in Java, including the stack. I wanted to take assembly language but I was the only person who showed up and the class got cancelled.
And by poor learners, I mean those who can only learn, if at all, by being taught. They don't learn on their own.
You just described the typical American who believes that graduating (or dropping out) from school ends their obligation to learn anything new about life. I always cringed when I hear a software engineer bitch and moan about learning something new to do his job better. He should have become a teacher instead.
While working at the help desk call center at Google in 2008, I had to walk software engineers through the process of turning on their PC by pressing the power button. Unlike college computer labs, no one was going to turn the PC on inside their cubicle for them. They're getting paid big bucks to do something at Google. Learning how to turn on a PC was a good start.
I was misdiagnosed as a mentally retarded in the first grade due to an undiagnosed hearing problem in one ear. My teachers were routinely surprised when I blew out the annual evaluation exam on the genius side, calling it a stastical fluke. Nothing was more prized in the special ed classes than a well-behaved idiot who brings in 3X funding.
The only reason I voted for President Obama twice is because as a moderate conservative I couldn't vote for either John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 because they both pandered to the right wing extremists and made bad VP picks. Surprisingly, President Obama was the best moderate conservative that the Democrats ever nominated.
Worse, their political leaders insist on blaming outsiders for the collapse of their civilization rather than turning inward to rebuild their civilization.
As befitting their history, the digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) are also known as Hindu numerals or "Hindu-Arabic numerals". The reason that they are more commonly known as "Arabic numerals" in Europe and the Americas is that they were introduced to Europe in the 10th century by Arabs of North Africa, who were then using the digits from Libya to Morocco. Europeans did not know about the numerals' origins in ancient India, so they named them "Arabic numerals".[4] Arabs, on the other hand, call the system "Hindu numerals",[5][6] referring to their origin in India. This is not to be confused with what the Arabs call the "Hindi numerals", namely the Eastern Arabic numerals used in the Middle East, or any of the numerals currently used in Indian languages.[7]
The lowest voter turnout in 72 years chose the Republican Party to be in charge of the Senate. The last time the Republcians had the large majority in the House was before the 1929 stock market crash. Something to think about.

Especially in salt water.

First you insult me and then you demand that I admit you're right? You must be a Republican.
The fall of the Roman Empire brought about the medieval age in the 5th century. The mulsims didn't arrive until the 8th century.

You don't expect a conspiracy theory (i.e., 99.9% of climate scientists are lying about global warming) to be right?

Now that's hairsplitting. :P
You must be using Roman numerals (i.e., I, II, III, IV, etc.). God forbid if you count with Arabic numerals (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.).
"Republican" is clearly a subset of "stupid."

As most people don't realize that Muslims have contributed extensively to the sciences during the medieval age.
They don't like pesky Bible - It keeps contradicting their worship of the rich.

So much for intelligent life on Earth. Forget about the rest of the universe.
Right... Please point me to where I can sign up for Obama's FREE AMERICA program. Oh, wait. You can't because it doesn't exist. Silly me.
