I am not saying that your donation was a bad idea, as I have no info about
this specific school/teacher. However, I always discourage folks from
donating scopes to our local schools. The teachers don't know how to use a
scope, and so it ends up stuck in a storage closet.

Well, we had this one donated to our local K-8 school over the summer:

I know how to use it, the teachers are learning, and it's not going to
end up in any closet!
