[K12OSN] general acceptance of k12ltsp in schools

[Huck]

I find it's accepted for the most part...
there are students who feel for their thousands of dollars(private high 
school) they should be getting stand alone blazing fast bleeding edge 
workstations to browse and write papers with in the library though.

At the elementary school it's greatly accepted keeps the cost of having 
a fully functional lab WAY DOWN, just a semi-steep learning curve for 
the teachers(solved with training when possible) who arguably are more 
burdened than at the high school.
