I'm surprised the school didn't work with Apple's education group (which you have to do over the phone)

  Well there was a significant secondary motivation to see how salespeople reacted to the faked "deafness", so in this case contacting the Apple education group would have rendered this secondary purpose moot.

    I doubt many schools would forgo saving $1500 of expenses (15 laptops at $100 savings each plus whatever free software the Education group throws in) for a small pointless lesson like this. Also if I was a student, knowing this experiment wouldn't affect my grades at all, I'd be rebelling against this forced lie and talking out loud "accidentally".

      education discounts can be applied in store, as well as the other education offers they occasionally do, like the free iPod touch during the back to school season.

        the public education promotions can, but when you purchase for a classroom you get additional discounts (and the stores are not authorized to give it)

          If they are each keeping the machine then you are not allowed to use the school discount, you must use the student rate.
