Am I so wrong with this idea > how teaching works? I just have to spend some words on these questions because I think Andreas is right with his assuption. BTW: I study education, did a schooling as primary school teachers a few years ago, am an administrator of a (Debian based) primary school and know a lot of teachers. My opinion is that it's really better to have a stable long standing system with stable software. And if you compare with systems with other operating system in schools the software there is mostly old as well. > Kind regards > > Andreas.
