What I find hard to believe is that the teacher so badly did not get
FLOSS at all.
I can see a plausible reason to stop the student from using something
other than the
installed OS (teacher can't be expected to know and block all the bad
stuff but let safe stuff through),
and certainly there could be a valid reason to tell the student to
stop playing and do the classwork, but
to so baldy misunderstand free software?!
