Nonsense.

Some things you missed:
1) It won't be HIS computer; will he be available to do periodic de-crapping?
2) He's talking about *multiple* boxes (each requiring its own licenses).
3) They will be IN CLASSROOMS.
4) You haven't clicked the link I included about the substitute schoolmarm
   who was convicted of 4 counts of "risk of injury to a minor"
   when porn popped up on the Windoze box in her classroom.
   She could have gotten 40 years in the slammer.

A default install of W98 (or any OS not set up with strict user privileges)
is WRONG for a classroom.

...and a Unix-like OS doesn't need to be covered in band-aids
(which only gives Windoze pasted-on fake "security" anyway).

Cleaning off infections AFTER the fact is the WRONG approach.
