I think your instincts are spot on. There can be no definitive word on OLPC at this early stage. Certainly you like to check in as early and as often as possible, but anyone with any in-school experience at all, even experience solely as a student, knows that teachers as a group cannot change their methods in a years time.

Any thinking that the writer here did was with a sociologist hat on rather than that of a domestic education policy wonk.
