My mother is an elementary school teacher. She recently bought a set of ipads to use in the classroom. She cant get them to work because the internet at the place is set up improperly and they wont let me fix it for her either.
Schools suffer from bureaucracy, not a lack of tech.
There is no such thing as an IT guy. The district contracted the work out to a company. My mother talked to them, they told her what needs to be done and wrote a proposal to the district administration. Those guys rejected it on the basis of "because fuck you, thats why".
It's a small school. Not a big network. Basically your average household internet with a $20 router and a bunch of cables. I could set the whole thing up in an hour but that's not going to happen either.

Has she talked to the IT guy directly? As an IT guy I would bend over backwards for this type of request.
