Schools are much like giant ships - changing there course is difficult and
takes time. A campus tech coordinator, a few teachers, even district tech
coordinators often can change little or nothing in the face of tech
policies. This is often because X school board members want Y or because the
school signed a contract and NDA with software vendor for X amount of time.
Teachers are seldom allowed to use and almost never allowed to install the
software of their choice.
