All of the Apple retail stores that I've been to honor education discounts for hardware only. I have no idea why, but this has been my (and my students) experience at Cambridgeside (Cambridge, MA, USA) and several others. They also will not honor discounts on some Apple accessories like firewire cables and AC adapters or on Lacie hard drives - all of which are discounted online.
It does take some of the fun out of the release events.
