A conversation between two students on classroom whiteboard issues

Daksha and Trishul discuss the poor condition of whiteboards in their classrooms, which makes it difficult to read and hampers their learning. They decide to gather support from other students and possibly their professors to bring the issue to the administration, emphasizing the need for better maintenance and replacement of classroom equipment.

Daksha: Have you noticed how bad the whiteboards in our classrooms have become?

Trishul: Yeah, I’ve been meaning to say something about that. The markers barely work, and the boards are always smudged. It’s hard to read anything from the back of the class.

Daksha: Exactly! Sometimes, even the fresh markers seem like they’re running out of ink. And those old stains that never get cleaned properly? They make it even worse.

Trishul: I don’t get why they don’t just replace the markers more often. It’s not like it’s a huge expense. Plus, they should really clean the boards regularly with proper cleaner, not just a dry eraser.

Daksha: True. It’s frustrating for both the students and the teachers. I’ve seen teachers struggle to write clearly because the markers don’t work properly or the board is so stained.

Trishul: It’s affecting our learning too. When you can’t see what’s written, it’s hard to follow along with the lecture. We shouldn’t have to squint or strain our eyes just to see what’s on the board.

Daksha: I totally agree. I think we should bring this up with the administration. Maybe they need a reminder to keep the classrooms better equipped.

Trishul: Yeah, and not just with the markers. They could also consider replacing some of the older whiteboards. Some of them are so scratched up that even when the markers work, it’s still hard to see clearly.

Daksha: That’s a good point. And it’s not just about replacing things—it’s also about maintaining them. Regular cleaning and upkeep would go a long way.

Trishul: Absolutely. I think if enough of us speak up about it, they’ll have to do something. We can’t keep having classes where half the students can’t read what’s on the board.

Daksha: Agreed. Let’s get a few more people on board and maybe talk to one of our professors too. If they bring it up, it might have more impact.

Trishul: Good idea. The professors would probably support this too since it makes their job harder when the whiteboards are in such bad shape.

Daksha: Definitely. I’ll start talking to a few people, and we can draft something to present to the administration.

Trishul: Sounds like a plan. Let’s make sure our classrooms are up to standard—good whiteboards are essential for a good learning environment.
