My wife (teacher) wasn’t allowed to use the microwave for a year due to the cost of electricity.

They got upset when I suggested we donate 20 dollars to cover microwave budget for entire school for the year.

Something tells me it wasn't really about the cost. Someone just hates smelling food I bet.

Is it a power for the sake of power example? Or does the electricity cost heaven there?

Either a power play or utter incompetence. I’m really not sure.

Sounds like a good opportunity to teach the kids about solar. The solar ovens were such a memorable experience, but I suppose the cloudy days would be tough. Teaching the kids about DC to AC conversions at the same time as office politics would be a valuable life lesson!

I disagree - it sounds like a good opportunity for the school to either stop pinching pennies so absurdly or for the district to actually start funding education at a reasonable level.
