No, that's bad news - to introduce linux as some sort of dorky toy ms windoze program is damaging to linux and gives a very bad impression of it. If a school uses only ms windoze, that is the real problem, and it can be approached in many ways. Anything would be better - linux on cheap boxes, dual boot, virtual windoze or wine on linux desktops - all are better solutions that the one you advocate.
