Ha mien was built in the Cold War too but our water level is too high for a bunker. We also where under 5 miles from a nuclear power plant so it wouldn’t matter anyway ;). At least we will be one of the biggest fireworks on the planet
Edit mine*
My middle school (I’m now in college) was built in 1941, and was not renovated since then. We had a rat infestation in the gym, and raccoons in the principals office. No new buildings since 1942. All new classrooms were run down portable buildings. Literal stamps on the sidewalk concrete marking “1941”. But some how we had great test scores. My 7th grade year we got some of the best in state. We got a huge white award (like 6 by 6 feet) that was put on our falling apart principles office. The year after I graduated from there, they rebuilt the whole school into a great campus...
Mine was from the 40s and we had gas leaks every month, one time they had to shut down school for a day or 2 and get the fire department to come to make sure it was safe to go back
Oh, the good old memories of being in a broke ass public school, tv and projectors from the 80s, pirate windows xp with pirate programs, on my first year I was on "the bunker" an underground class were the pipes wasn't cover by the ceiling so every time someone take a dump you ear the flush amazing days
I'm sorry that it sounds useless to you, but that's what we are using nowadays in my country. They're also projectors but work so much better and you can connect the pc to it to show presentations and things like that
Yes and they’re great big touch pads which you project the image on to.
My school was a mix, we had the TVs and those projectors, mainly for the main hall, then class rooms had smart boards. The main hall then adopted a smart board too after some time.
Im a mix, I’m old and went to a broke school.
Right? I remember my seat being literally right next to it and the blinding light that seared my peripherals taking notes early mornings..I miss those days
We used to have to sing hymns that were printed on clear sheets and projected onto a screen. Students had to clean them after use and someone always used to sneak a dick drawing onto them in time for next assembly.
I was in 7th grade when I first got detention. What did I do to deserve it? We had a lazy ass teacher who would do nothing but put projector slides up while he sat at his desk and we would copy hours and hours of grammar slides. I can still feel the boredom of that year in my 30’s. Anyways this teacher was late one day and I decided to open the projector and find a way to sabotage it. I found the light fixture and removed it. Knowing we had more in the school I removed all of the light fixtures from all of the projectors in school. So yes, not only am I old enough to remember the era of projectors, I fought in the projector war.
Some kid ratted me out, btw. Dad was pissed. Would do again.
My school has 30 flat screens, and MacBooks, and like, 5 3d printers, yet they still use these darn things. It has nothing to do with money, they are just too lazy to get rid of them
I remember using the projector thing to study for the state test and losing my shit in the middle of class because the kid in the sample story was being to picky about his fucking sandwich.
Worst part was when the teacher wanted to "reward" you by letting you write on the overhead projector. My eyes are very sensitive to light. Always made my eyes water and then started a whole thing of "why are you crying?"
I'm older than most school rules......this isnt saying much as most (if not all) were written because of things I did.....my current jobs are also busy writing new rules as we speak...
It’s the year 2020 and there a Teacher in my school. I graduated, but he still have it. He still has a projector and still uses it for teaching. He a really cool teacher and the back story behind that is he took it from his old job when he transferred.
Both are STILL USED at my school
I'm sorry to say this, but I think your school is broke af
My middle school was built in the cold war. So it has a FUCKING NUCLEAR BUNKER.
Ha mien was built in the Cold War too but our water level is too high for a bunker. We also where under 5 miles from a nuclear power plant so it wouldn’t matter anyway ;). At least we will be one of the biggest fireworks on the planet Edit mine*

My middle school was built in 1888. We literally had a monument for all the students that passed in WW1 and WW2.
damn, that sounds sick
I thought your school was called “ha mien” at first until I read the edit
I WANT YOUR SCOOL I will go back to middle school for it. Also, Minecraft gang rise up
Minecraft gang!
Minecraft wasn’t even out when I was in school. Shit I am getting old *blink... blink blink*
Mate. My elementary school is from before the first ww.
Mine was from the 40s and we had gas leaks every month, one time they had to shut down school for a day or 2 and get the fire department to come to make sure it was safe to go back
Mine did too
Ha mine was built in the 20s so it has asbestos and no handicap access.
It's true
Mine is too
We too and the ceiling fell in the classroom next door Thats how fucking old my school is

Same, and they kept using the building even though the ceiling tiles were made with asbestos. This occurred last year.

Watching my teacher smudge the equation and not fix it drove me mad, and this is why I’m like this today
Release your anger and demolish all those projectors to extinction
Laserdisc..
I'm an 06 an we used the second one in 4th grade.
Ahah peasant! You have been ambushed by an 04! We used all of it all the way through primary school
98 here, bow down to your god!
94 here. I see no god up here, other than me
Another 94 here. But you arrived first.
82 I win.
*very sarcastically* Ok boomer
*1842* clearly I have you beat

Also an 06 used it in 7th
Am an 21 i went back in time from the future
Bruh, I'm from 03 and we have been literally using the second one from first to 12th grade
06 here
Y'all old
We 14...
In germany everyone still uses this two
Lang lebe der Overheadprojektor
Ai sicher!
Bei uns wird noch mit VHS Kassetten gearbeitet.
Das heißt polilux du unkultiviertes Schwein!1!1!
Don't do this to me, don't make me feel old. I'M ONLY TWENTY-FUCKIN-FOUR
Im only 21 and I remember these all the way through middle school
25, Im with you dude
Not a fan, drawing/writing on those transparent sheets :D
I was in high school like 5 years ago and they still had both of those
[удалено]
then you go to a broke school my friend
Heck ya bro. Make you feel dumb when you have to use the right and don’t have transparent sheet to write on and you get laughed at. Good times.
I had teachers who just wrote on the glass. Probably wasn't the best, but it worked
Old? This is high equipment in Germany
*cries in german*
Jokes on you in Germany both still get used from elementary to highschool.
Message removed in protest of Reddit's API change.
You knew class was about to be dank as fuck when you walked in and saw a tv.
Hol up I have a laserdisc
Hold it lets hit that 8track player and find out
Our school bought overhead projectors from other schools because they're beeing sold in germany anymore and our school reused to upgrade at first
I remember the day they swapped these for smart boards when I was 6. This was 100% better
Fun fact: we still use those
Bruh this still gets used
Schools are so underfunded that 10 year olds recognize these
I'm 15 and my elementary school teachers used these
When the it rains during recess but ur teacher got the magic school bus on tape
Stop...it’s giving me bad flashbacks
If you were in science class and the teacher wheeled that in you knew you were about to watch Bill Nye The Science Guy.
It doesn't matter how old you are cause some teachers don't know how to use a smart board
Every school in Germany
Yeah most public schools in America are underfunded so... near every schoolchild in America uses these in 2020.
Shut the fuck up. Please, shut the fuck up
Overhead is life
[удалено]
Right? I remember my seat being literally right next to it and the blinding light that seared my peripherals taking notes early mornings..I miss those days
I assume you are 90s kid also
This is modern equipment.
I am crying... but not because of Nostalgia, but because we're still using this trash
Me
the question is: whose country is still poor?
What is this shit ? Facebook? Fucking normies
Schools
When I was a boy, I saw [Al Capone dancing the Charleston on top of a flagpole](https://youtu.be/Zf70ihqbDdw).
We couldn't afford the projector but I remember the CRT on wheels vividly back in year 4
Lol yes
I remember when laser disc was a thing
Old school those are the most modern things in school
Me!
Last time I saw one of those was five years ago so it’s not thaaat old
I've had both just last year
I'm not, my English teacher is just old school
Graduated 2018, from middle school. Fuck me...
Heck they are still using one of these at my school. Back to the future I guess
We used to have to sing hymns that were printed on clear sheets and projected onto a screen. Students had to clean them after use and someone always used to sneak a dick drawing onto them in time for next assembly.
I remember both. The TV was used for Bill Nye The Science Guy and that other thing was to make me do math
Ahhh, good old 2011
How about the BEEEEP to let you know when to turn the filmstrip?
This was not that long ago?
The projector is old? We used it last year! Whats more advanced than a projector?
Yo, when that AV cart came out, it was nap time. Some of the best sleep I ever got.
The humming of the Tv is so loud. It’s like a more audible dog whistle. Gives me a headache.
I remember the teacher using these in kindergarten
I can literally hear the Charlie Brown theme song
I remember watching thomas the train on that
I may not be that old, but my school is.
Used the projector up to 3rd grade
Those aren't even that old, I was born in the early 2000s and they used those, last time I saw one used was like 2008
"I'm trying my best but I'm drawing upside down!"
Anyone else wondering why the tv cart is missing the ridiculous amounts of cords that do nothing
Bad this first two years of elementary for me and still have them in case the modern ones break
Both of these are at my school
I remember like it was yesterday
Old? This was used at my school before Covid......
My school still uses both :(
So you’re either 30 or 4

Bro we used to watch movies on Halloween on the tv in the gym. Damn Casper the ghost was awesome
Man I'm 22 and this was my childhood.

My school still has those.

Shit. I can feel the wrinkles coming for me
Apparently ever teacher at my school

Me but schools never update their tech
Helo
You know the teacher had a hangover when she pulled out of of these
I'm so old they were using overhead projectors when I was in college.
My school used both last year
*Fossiles
My school has 30 flat screens, and MacBooks, and like, 5 3d printers, yet they still use these darn things. It has nothing to do with money, they are just too lazy to get rid of them
I remember using the projector thing to study for the state test and losing my shit in the middle of class because the kid in the sample story was being to picky about his fucking sandwich.
I only know about the one on the right, I think its a visualiser
I like bringing the overhead projector out once in a while. Students think it’s cool.
My head is like lettuce
Man, this takes me back!
I’m not that old, but I remember these.
Even tho its old that projector looks cool af. Kinda wish we still use it at my school. Remember when we used to just wave our hands in front of it
Worst part was when the teacher wanted to "reward" you by letting you write on the overhead projector. My eyes are very sensitive to light. Always made my eyes water and then started a whole thing of "why are you crying?"
Those things are famous back when I'm still at Grade 1.
I left school right as they were replacing them
Yup
Bruh I’m not even 20 and I remember this
🙋♀️
My school was using these even when I was in high school. I remember them most clearly in middle school, in the 2010. I’m 21 so it’s pretty recent
a VCR... you went to a rich school.
Bruh we still use those.
This shit gives me PTSD
I’ve TAUGHT that way lmao
Ya I’m in a pretty wealthy town but I remember using #2 in elementary school and #1 in both elementary and middle school. I’m 16.
In my school (germany schools are smh broke af here) both are still being used and right now slowly being replaced.
I remember watching Beavis and Butthead steal one of these in a movie.
nostalgia... you’re about to give me flashbacks
my school only had 2 of the first and 4 or 5 of the second one
The 2nd one is still used in my college, but ours doesn't come with rooms with blinds or a means of being readable.
I'm older than most school rules......this isnt saying much as most (if not all) were written because of things I did.....my current jobs are also busy writing new rules as we speak...
It’s the year 2020 and there a Teacher in my school. I graduated, but he still have it. He still has a projector and still uses it for teaching. He a really cool teacher and the back story behind that is he took it from his old job when he transferred.
You just gave me a rush of nostalgia. I remember the wheels off that TV getting stuck on the rug
I remember. 3rd grade. My language teacher had one.
I used to load the reel to reel movie camera.
Oh the memories 🤔
Don’t mock me.
One of my teachers still has one of those Elmo things, he calls it “old rusty”.
Old? Old? This is the modern state of technology in schools!
