I understand your situation, but I wonder why kids are taught MS
Office at school.

When people study to be a carpenter, they are not taught to use hammer
brand XYZ, but any hammer in general. The problem with MS Office is
that nearly everyone out there believe it's a hammer when, in fact, is
a hammer brand MS. There are other office suites brands, like
OpenOffice.org, but...

People should be taught to use any kind of tool, not tools from just a
single brand. Else, when brand XYZ disappears, there will a lot of
people that will have to re-learn what they already learnt in the
past. What a waste of time.
