Yes, there are several variations on the theme.  The overall goal is to
present the student with their own 'virtual desktop'.  The desktop follows
the student around wherever they go.  Some districts even allow students to
log into their 'virtual desktop' from home.

The main advantages to centrally managed clients are the perceived low cost
of maintaining the system and thin clients fit into the current generation
of system administrator's world view better then individual laptop.

US schools can offset their bandwidth costs by a federal E-rate program[1].

thanks
