Are these sentences natural? April 4

Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. I wouldn’t be surprised if classrooms don’t/didn’t have blackboards in 10 years from now. (which one is more appropriate?)

2. I also need to talk with you about some network issues, so when you are done there can you come over? ( I said this to the IT guy working on my colleagues computer in the cube next to me)

3. Don't scapegoat me for your mistakes.

Thanks,
MG
