Teacher

Repair costs could be so high that a new system makes more sense. Talk to a Genius Bar to get an "official" quote, as quotes are free.

As to making him mad, most adults do not hold such grudges. But have your parents help with the convseration to make it smoother.

This is accidental damage and Apple does not repair computer for free that have suffered accidental damage.

The cost for that is all up the the owner of the computer.

So you should explain this to the teacher and the school and see if they have insurance to cover such problems.

I would not care about his attitude. But that is just me.

What I would like to know is how was he able to sit on it. Where was it that he could sit down on it. And why you placed it in a spot that anyone could sit on it.

IMHO you have to take most of the responsibility for this happening through your careless actions that allowed this to happen in the first place.

Sorry that is just the way I feel about situations like this.

Good Luck.

And that attitude will not get you far.

Why did he think it was a pillow? Was it laying on a seat of a chair?

Only someone looking at your exact unit can tell you the price. Genius Bar can tell you that.

Your response to shootist show two things:

• You need to have your parents help, because you are not ready to have this conversation with your teacher ... you will lose his respect for reasons other than the repair bill
• You have no respect for people who do not cater to your desires

You also need to carry your next computer (this one is toast, most likely) in a way that makes it look like a computer, not a pretty duffle bag.

Learn from this, please.

I am out of this conversation.

Apology accepted. You should not let frustration get the better of you. You need right now to carfeully examine all possibilities and that can only be done when you are calm. You can still be concerned about the outcome while keeping a cool head.
