It's been my experience over the years that the deeper the immersion of any student in anything MS i/e programming, system administration, network administration, only makes them more proficient with Linux. Also basic computer use skills are similar enough that users shouldn't really have issues going back and forth other than dealing with differences in the GUI's. Diversity is always a better educational experience. The real issue is that MS provides nothing free beyond basic skills as far as education, and those basic skills courses are only interested in creating more worker bees within their proprietary cosmology, and Linux on the other hand leads any student to a better understandings of how computers actually work and doesn't charge you a dime, i/e things like the free Debian installation manuals, and the Debian Wiki. If the teachers are actually proficient and qualified to teach courses on basic computer usage they should be skilled enough to deal with any differences between Linux DE's and Windows. Linux Lite is designed to make that very easy and would be a good choice to use as a comparison with Windows as far as basic DE usage within a course on basic computer usage.
