Hmmm - obnoxious but....

Don't forget that this teacher is actually quite educated - her education is actually pretty high when you compare it to the general population or blue collor workers. Her knowledge in IT-skills might not even be lacking that much but she is obviously totally unaware of open source software. All her experiences regarding sharing of software is probably all these kiddies playing their nintendo-ds with R4 backup carts and swapping out .nds files
A teacher behaving like this over a student sharing open source software makes you wonder what most other people/the general population thinks about Linux. Perhaps they think it's a scam or they might even think it is a copyright infringement on Windows. All these parallel distributions out there sure are a bit unclear to the untrained IT-eye.
I am just hoping this is just a very ignorant and stupid school teacher in dire need of some continuous edication on the subject.
