Ah, yes, let's force everyone to use open source software with its horrible aesthetics, near-constant crashing on Windows-installed PCs, impenetrable user setup from download to configuration and non-existent technical support.
Example? I can't count the number of times I had to eventually save my OpenOffice file as a Microsoft Word Document and open it in Word only to find that I had to do a whole bunch of reformatting before sending it to the library printer!
People should be glad their school is encouraging kids to use professionally made software that doesn't try and bully them into the stone-age with interface design that's about 10 years behind proprietary software.
