Well, it depends: if I see good cooperation, openess and willingness to
"hear more", I'll introduce OO suite, as a more full solution that could be
used elsewhere in the school, that could be used by students to fill in
their exercises, etc.
If I wont feel such openness I'll try to push a minimal solution - just
replace that read only format to one that I can read (I lean toward Google
Docs and on second place PDF).

This is not a fight. Fighting will not achieve anything. Achieving
something with arm power is my last resort and I think I wont get there. At
worst, I'll try again sometime in the near future or re-think again (don't
forget - fighting is always possible and should be avoided as much as
possible).
