+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; In Germany it is not a school board who decides what software will be

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; for the various states of the federal republic. You have to go to some
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; state office and compete with the reps of Microsoft. You do not talk
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; to parents or teachers, it's some bureaucrats who decide this over
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; here (with very few exceptions).
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Same with many other countries. This school board system as in the US
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; is not a world wide system.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I can't speak for Andr&#233; (he sounds like he is Canadian), but I am not a
+</I>&gt;<i> US citizen, I am Canadian. Our school system and software purchase
+</I>&gt;<i> models are the same as you describe. However, we do consult with school
+</I>&gt;<i> boards and interested partners before acquiring software licences. I am
+</I>&gt;<i> sure, the German states would consult with their partners before doing
+</I>&gt;<i> such as well. We have provinces in Canada and, as you say, in Germany
+</I>&gt;<i> you have states -- same hierarchy but with different names. As far as I
+</I>&gt;<i> know, the American model is more of a federalist model and
+</I>&gt;<i> consultation/coordination is done mostly from a national point of view.
+</I>&gt;<i> I am sure someone on the list will straighten us out on this account.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We shouldn't assume that, if people describe a different system on this
+</I>&gt;<i> ML, that they are therefore American citizen who are trying to impose it
+</I>&gt;<i> on everyone. I just assume that we are all Canadians on the list
+</I>&gt;<i> (chuckles).
+</I>
+I noticed that there seemed to be an overwhelming sense of reasonableness,
+Maybe you're right. ;)
