Oh please! let's not start that sort of silliness. Reminds me of a
conversation I had with a local forester about a big old elm tree in the
front yard. I asked him if I should take it down since it was showing
signs of age. His response was that the tree was having some problems but
that I'd be long dead before anyone would need to worry about it. 

To answer your question. Put side by side, Macintoshes are easier to
setup, network, and use. They also interface well with several PC networks
(such as Novell and NT) which you may have around the school. Given that
you probably want to spend most of your time educating the kids rather
than "teaching them computers" I'd recommend the Mac any day.
