I would be interested to hear if someone knows of an initiative that really brings Linux to kids or kids to Linux. And if in other country's schools do use Linux.
There was one...
Up through CentOS5 there was an iso respin that just came up working as a classroom server that would PXE-boot a bunch of thin clients and included a working java, media player, and an assortment of educational programs .There's an old presentation here: http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12ltsp-presentation.swf
You could probably still install one from the isos here: ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/../pub/K12LTSP/5.0.0-32bit/iso/ but I'm not sure what it would do after updating.
These days it is packaged separately and much more complicated to get working.
