Uusally it's not so much the lack of paper that's a problem... it's the fact that the copy machines are leased usually isntead of bought, and you can only make so many copies on it before you have to pay huge fines... and teachers ALWAYS go over budged because nobody bothers to set actual limits for each teacher or do... anything that makes sense.

Damn... do students notice that? at my Academy for Art and Design where I work we have changed that policy.. our college chipcards now have to be prepaid charged with an amount of prints you can have... go over that amount and you have to pay it yourself as teacher... it was messy when it was unlimited.. for the 2000 employees of Avans Hogeschool (18.000 students in 3 cities) now there are like only 50 with an unlimited print chipcard.. I'm one of them and I use it waaaay too much for non important stuff and I always print in color.. They also limited our amount of coffee we can get with the chipcards.. 100 a day.. >_>


Students noticed because the teachers actually mentioned it... pretty much every time halfway through the school year they annoucned they had to change their plans since they couldn't make so many printouts anymore. This too was in a school that scored higher then the schoolsystem average... which was higher then the state average, which was higher then the country average. It was a very good school, but they always had shit they needed fixed and claimed poor when they just made REALLY bad decisions and wasted all sorts of money. In senior year i actually skipped events because it started pissing me off so much.
