Hmm ... Visual Studio .NET we do not know but Microsoft have the education package that schools can subscribe to. The licenses part for education should be quite cheap compare to the partial (or full) expense. Usually schools ask people to download the express edition that might save quite a lot. Bare in mind, visual studio will never go cross-platform unless something miracle happens.
As for the mono project, it will always be lagging behind the actual microsoft release as it is developed separately(this will explain why it will not be so widely use, now and perhaps in future, unless it exceeds the pace of .NET and strive out on its own). It is unlike Sun Java's commitment to offer cross-platform support from the start.
