Recently at my ES I tried printing a B5 size word search worksheet for students who want to take it from my English board and I printed 24 sheets. My vice principal comes over and says that I shouldn't use color ink because it's expensive. Mind you this worksheet is mostly black text with a small color picture for students to understand what the word is. I've had to change ink cartridges like two times all year.
I tell her that I usually only print about 30-35 total per month because then I switch up the worksheet. She tells me that I should copy it in black and white and that 30 sheets is too much. In black and white you can barely make out the pictures.
What is even the point of having color printers if you you're not supposed to use it?? Are the kids' experiences not even worth 30 sheets of paper per month? Am I supposed to create my English board with no color too? Why is this only a problem now at the end of the school year? Does anyone else have this experience?
