School Technology

I don't understand the way our school system decides what they want to spend money on.  Our computers at school still run Window's XP Pro and Office 2003... and then they give us computer classes with that.  How do they expect us to be successful people if we can only use outdated technology.  I love Macs, but I think that the school should be teaching us on Macs and Windows based computers.  We should be using Windows 7 and OS X Lion and Using the most recent versions of both Microsoft Office and Apple iWork.  We should also be using tablets, because Post-PC devices are blowing up right now and are going to continue to accelerate at exponential rates.  We should be learning iOS and Android Honeycomb.  Also, why is only Internet Explorer used on school computers.  On my MacBook I use Safari, Google Chrome, FireFox, Opera, and Camino for internet browsers.  We should be learning to use lots of browsers depending on what our future businesses use.  I wish they would push us to use innovative technologies like Evernote and Dropbox.  Instead, they're teaching us how to use a flash drive.  *facepalm*  Flash drives are becoming increasingly outdated and are quickly being replaced by cloud computing.  They finally got smart boards last year, even though many schools had them in 2008.  Technology is developing at an exponential rate. Why are we being taught on technology from 2003?
