As a system administrator in a school I work for, I allow no admin  
privileges for teachers on our server or classroom computers.
I'm encouraging teachers to browse the net and find new educational  
programs. Then they are supposed to come to me to install those programs  
on a server or on all classroom computers.
It's very hard to find usefull educational programs on net for young  
children - language is the biggish problem - few of them are translated to  
slovenian.
Openoffice is not very used here, 'couse our Ministry of education and  
sport has an agreement with M$ and we (all schools in Slovenia) have  
licence to use M$ Desktop (OS + Office) on all our computers, in school  
and home (as a teacher) for free.

I'm trying. Have linux server with samba domain, dual boot on all  
classroom computers, but very few educational titles. Right now I'm trying  
to get some support from some of our teachers to translate GCompris.
