    TEACHER PLUS (teacherplus01@yahoo.co.in) of July-August 2003 carries an
    article titled 'Freeing computers in schools'. It says:

            Computers are used in many schools these days, as a
            teaching/training tool as well as for administration
            purposes. Most schools, however use, expensive
            software that not only takes away a huge chunk of the
            school budget, but also limits the number of
            teaching/learning tools that can be used in school.
            This article discusses Free Software and why
            Free Software makes sense in education....

    A cartoon on the front-page has a hand-raising student ask the teacher:
    "Now that we have free software, can we also have free periods?"
