I have a friend who was a high school teacher around 1980, and he set up the first Unix machine in a high school. He then mentored the high school students so that they learned to become good programmers. Several of them were very good programmers with reputations by the time they graduated from high school. I am sure any high school has a few people who have that talent and will want to develop it. They just need the opportunity. So that is the second reason why schools should use free software exclusively.
