You can plug it into an outlet to power it.
Ah thank you, why did I not think of that easy solution? I always power it via my hamster at home.
In most of the classrooms I've been to, there's like one outlet for every 10 people. That's not a reliable option, especially if you pack classes back to back like I did.
I can't say I've ever been to classes that have that issue or have heard anyone with a similar complaint.
If it's really that much of a problem for your specific school, class, or just you (for some reason), then it can easily be remedied with a power strip, or several if that's really how bad it is.
I'm reluctant to take your word at face value, though. Lots of hyperbole going on on these forums.
