Teachers here in the UK have it really bad; a lot of the IT infrastructure is farmed out to BT or other completely useless corporates. Either what happens is they can't cope and so are dropped after a few months or they keep having to replace all the poorly configured laptops.

My Mum has been through about 8 new laptops in the last 14 months...

(the best one is when the laptop leads all went missing [never found out who did it] and their response was... ...to replace the laptops. rolls eyes)

And lets not even start to talk about the restrictions imposed on these laptops.... (I mean; I can understand it for the kids, but the teachers?)
