A classroom setting is different than gameplay with peers.
I have a son. It's inevitable that he's going to want to play the games that his peers are playing, and my ideals are not more important than his social well-being.
But what a classroom uses and teaches is vastly different. It's _what_ is being taught that matters. For example, some teachers may choose to use online tools for teaching mathematics, whereas others will stick to textbooks and hands-on play. Both are viable methods.
I've already met with the school district on student privacy issues, and I plan to meet with them on other issues relating to software freedom, which they were receptive to.
