The last time I worked for a school, it was before 2005, so there was 
not LibreOffice. I do know many families cannot afford to buy, or rent, 
MSO and all of its upgrades as the school upgrades. I use to live next 
to a family who's adults will not let the students use the only computer 
in the household.  Now it seems that every writing assignments taken 
home required to be "typed" and no longer hand written. So from the 
start, we no longer have the students get use to hand written work, so 
their written documents are readable.  The built in spell checker makes 
the need to learn how to spell words anymore.
