When it comes to dealing with the head IT dude of a district or school, you may as well give up. 99% of them are complete dicks and don't really care about learning or students whatsoever.
There may be a logical reason for not mixing macs and pcs. Simply because too much stuff isn't compatible with macs. If they teach students on only pcs, what happens when they get thrown with a mac? Now, we all know tech ppl for plays are smart, but the rest of the student body might not be so much.
Not saying I agree nor disagree, just saying.
Second of all, who cares if you put a second drive in the computer?
If you disconnect the Ethernet from the computer, the district or school can't do squat about it. That's whats letting them monitor and control the computer. Grant it, you still have to deal with program blocks etc etc, but hey, its a start to make sure the IT ppl don't get word you're doing it.
For the record, I'm not really a MAC person, but I'm just saying, I understand the argument of keeping everybody's workstation the same.
