Does anyone disagree with the assertion that "most Sugar use is in a<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
The two largest OLPC deployments, Peru and Uruguay account for 50% of XO laptops.<br>
<br>
Peru, 60% of use was in school [1]<br>
Uruguay home use > school use [2]<br>
<br>
Uruguay was 100% take home, Peru had a mixed take home policy.<br>
<br>
It is not clear what happened in the remaining 50% of deployments.<br>
<br>
These statistics are 4-6 years old. It is not clear how the usage changes as XO's have got older. They are presumably perceived to be less valuable. This could relax take home policies, it probably tends to lower school and home use.<br>
<br>
So I disagree with the assertion that "most Sugar use is in a school/classroom setting". I think its too close to call. Home and school use are roughly equal.<br>
