Apple have always made deals with schools and given them discounted products. The idealists will say that it's admirable that they support education this way.
Realists will know Apple's marketing department follow the Jesuit principle "Give them to me for the first seven years and they're mine for life".
Both finish up with fanatical believers, though sadly for them their dropout rate is probably higher than they would like. I wonder what Jobs' Ninth Circle looks like?
