Although this could be interesting, I really wonder what Apple is trying to achieve here.
Education is definitely not a market where you can make money in, so it goes against the belief many people here have that Apple is only interested in chasing profits. History has also shown that there's no loyalty from K-12 to later in life. People don't keep using the same device they used in school - they will buy what they like, which ends up being mainly a Windows machine followed by a Mac. So it's not like this is going to be a future revenue driver either.
We know why Google is doing this for free - they want your kids data. What does Apple want?
