and parents already know the value of using Linux in the classroom:

"Using open source software, you teach co-operation and community, you teach them that everyone is a participant, you teach them that even that lowly 486 they got from Uncle Ted is a useful machine that can be recycled rather than used for landfill. You teach them that while computers are still buggy, a "bug" is an opportunity to learn and to make new friends, and you teach them that even one small voice can teach the world a new song." --- from OsOpinions Nov 1999, "Elementary Linux: Penguins in the School" by Gary Lawrence Murphy
