I also got to play with electrophoresis to look at fake DNA.

Not necessarily, there are the circuit boards that you just plug things into to create the circuits, they can be used every year etc. They wouldn't be that expensive. I can't think of another example right now, but I do not agree that its as expensive as you think - I'm not saying we should be soldering connections and stuff, you could even just use a battery and wires with alligator clips on it, etc. My point was that the theory of teaching should be changed.
In our school we have TVs in every class room (connected to the teacher's computer), hardly any teachers use them (none more than two or three times a year). Total waste of money that could have been spent better. In my opinion Proximas should have been bought not for every class room, but two or three per department.
