I agree with Matt.

The less questions, the better. Actually, when I talk to teachers in
Chile, I hardly ever mention Linux or FreeSoftware or OpenSource, or
anything. I just explain the solution the need. If someone asks me
directly about the technology being used on such solution, well,
that's a different story.

It's just like what it happens to mobile phones and people. Many
mobile phone users hardly know what OS the cell phone has, or if
there's an API for them to develop on it, etc. They just use the phone
and play with it. The more advanced one also transfer data to the PC.
