Such extreme short-term thinking, resulting in the propping up of monopolies. At school no less. The point of school is to support society, not corporate earnings.

Not to mention any so-called deficiencies could be remedied in two years by directing 1% of the budget from private jets to FLOSS.

Not sure there are too many school districts with private jets, but if you are referring to the corporate software publishers, i am pretty sure there would be much better things to spend 1% on other than supporting FOSS to benefit and support society.
