I really don't understand, why is the FSF petitioning schools (
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/sign-this-petition-for-freedom-in-the-classroom
) to use Free Software if there is no available Free Software
alternative for what they're specifically looking for and the schools
cannot afford and do not have the expertise or resources to create a
Free alternative of their own?  If the FSF expects the average school
to change, they need to give more aid than just educating schools
about the advantages of Free Software.  Many schools simply don't have
the resources to write their own Free Software.  It's fine to tell a
programmer, if you want something done, do it yourself.  That doesn't
work well for a school.
