Linux in U.S. Schools: Why the Resistance? (IT Management)

When I was a boy, my school district was about the first in the US to just shut down and refuse to open back until they received adequate funding to operate. It turned out *great*, and I wish they'd do it again.

It was funny to watch people waking up to how much they wanted and needed the schools once they started to contemplate doing without them. It was a terrible ruckus in the short run. It took about two months to reopen the schools. In the long run, there was a 10 or 15 year period where the community voted huge dollars and put huge priority on the schools.

Those were the days.
