I'm guessing that there's a different way to enter the path name on a
macintosh?
There is no such thing as a c-drive on a Mac. Try this location
instead:
~/Desktop/schools.txt
and note that Mac is case-sensitive.
Actually, by default, the OSX HFS+ file system is not case sensitive:

You can make it so using the Disk Utility, but there are risks to
doing so, in that certain OSX applications will fail. See:
