I read with interest your message concerning GC use in Scotland. Where in
Scotland do you teach? I ask because my wife is Scottish and we spend our
summers in Prestwick. I've visited Prestwick Academy the last few years
(before returning to the states in late August) and did not see much use of
the GC..
I know the calculators are much more expensive in the UK then in the
states. Is there a breakdown of use of the GC with respect to class. Who
pays for the GC? Does the "state" subsidize the expense?
