I'm thinking it is more a factor of momentum: "An object at rest tends to stay at rest." They probably rolled out a package that they purchased, they're on to other projects and no one took the initiative to fix an error. I was careful in my email to be very polite, and to kindly request the fix ("Please sir, could I have some more?"), and not to mention the "L" word (Linux).
One thing to remember is that I am not the customer of the school system. Heck, my sons aren't even the customer. The real customer is my children's grades and test scores. I have come to the realization that the school system (as a whole) doesn't care what my kids learn or whether they retain any knowledge. It just matters how they test and are graded. That is the true "customer": test scores. All school system decisions and finances are dependant on those scores. I'm sick of it. We're homeschooling our kids starting in January. Darn. I'm OT!
