Well if schools are just kid jail, then sure. But if they're a place for raising future generations, then as a benefit to society, it sounds pretty good to me. And all for a, let's face it, trivial amount of effort.

If the school boards change or the gov changes, so will the software makers. Support groups will be plentiful because they all just follow the money. Just like they did for chromeOS, only this time there will be less built-in spyware.

Public schools are kid jail.

Anyone who has been to a public school should be well aware they are not a place that breeds greatness. More a place that hammers it down.

It truly is a sad state of affairs, isn't it?
