Promoting Open Source in Schools

[Igor Denisov]

Almost forgot the 4th reason :-)

4. Apparent Laziness

This is all over the place. Network techs don't want to have to know
more. Teachers were barely able to teach themselves how to use
FirstClass (at my old school, most still avoid it). The entire IT
department doesn't want to support 2 OSes (OS X machines are in a
ratio of 1:100 with PCs, so they don't count) .

A 'why bother' attitude prevails because no one's pocket is directly
hit and having one or two of twenty computers constantly not work
doesn't seem like a very big deal.
