I’m an educator, and my Windows PC crashed during my first period class.
I had a cinnamon mint USB drive in my bag. I booted to it, and it saved the day!
I don’t have anybody to tell just how much of a godsend that was, but I figured you guys might appreciate it!
It’s my work computer. I’m definitely violating a few policies by installing Linux, but the computer was non-functional. So, I excused myself because at best, the computer will have to be wiped anyway.
Well - I hope you are exploring your job options as they are with that technical know-how. Even if no more than what you already shared, you’re miles ahead of most IT managers. I negotiated my contract so that the company gives webmail & an email signature, but I procured the computer, sent them the invoice & set it up myself. Since I have no need for intranet resources or office space, they have no reason to complain about (lack of) security oversight. In a teaching position you might be working under similar circumstancea.
Educators almost never have that kind of ability to make demands in an employment negotiation.
I’d say such a general statement can’t be made in general. There are a couple hundred countries on Earth and dozens of types of teaching jobs.
