Wrong page for your comment I think. Shouldn't this be on a BRFC blog?

A classic case of reduced investment in education leading to reduced orders in the private sector

No don't do silly things like 22 over paid idiots running round after a lump of old cow no matter what part of the country they are from.

i remember Jean-Yves Charlier saying that now the lower unskilled staff have gone Promethean can really move FAST-FORWARD as he told everyone he had shutdown production in blackburn. hahahahaha you got it so wrong didn't you TC

Most schools have now worked out that you can do on a £120 Samsung mobile that a 120 million quid white board used to do hence time to move on. bye bye

The report from the company states that the anticipated up-lift in US sales during the peak selling season failed to meet expectations but offers no explanation for this. There are three possible reasons: the expectations of the company were woefully optimistic, the education authorities in the states are cutting spending - a number of states are in real financial difficulty – or, as Michael says, customers have found other technology to be just as effective. If it is false expectations then the matter can be put right, but if the reason is restraint upon public expenditure and/or technological obsolescence then this suggests structural changes are at the root of the problem; and that’s far more worrying.

Perhaps the products are too dear. I poked all over the website this morning without discovering what these things cost. "How to Buy" lead to an enquiry page. Giving a price is too plain for these guys, or too risky.

When Labour were in power price didn't matter.
They would borrow money and chuck it at whatever scheme was on offer.
Realistically the country couldn't afford to rebuild every school and kit it out with unnecessary gadgetry.
Now Labour are gone companies like this one are knackered.

It was a nice way to slip lots of cash into friends back pockets for total junk technology, a total disgrace.

Let's get down to basics, most of New Labour where sock cuckers from the top down remember Peter Mandelson etc look at this guy it's dripping from his eye balls, I expect this post will be deleted but if just one person reads this and agrees I have not given up all hope yet:)
