[ubuntu-uk] Education software - purplemash anyone?

[Byte Soup]

Hi All,

My kids school are considering spending money on a yearly subsciption
to this --> http://www.purplemash.com/

Now as most parents I think its a shame if the school spends money on
things they dont need and I also believe that the reason this happens
sometimes is that the school simply arent aware of alternatives.

Does anyone have any useful information, alternatives I could feedback
to the school?

Thanks
