My wife is a high school journalism teacher. She would like to use your blog services for her class. Using it would sell better to the school if she were getting a discount–funds are tight for public schools as you might know.

No. There are no exceptions. We all get a free blog and free hosting and all these free features http://en.wordpress.com/features/ Upgrades are not required for blogging and if we choose to purschase them then we all pay the same price for every upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/upgrades/

Perhaps your wife would like to check out edublogs. They are also on a WPMU WordPress multiuser blogging platform and their site is designed for teachers and students.

The only upgrade that many teachers choose is the No-Ads upgrade to keep the ads that pay for your “free” blog off your blog

Good point. http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/
Edublogs blogs are all 100% advertisement free.

Actually, from what I hear there ARE exceptions to the rules, but you’ve got to make a compelling case for it. Contact staff directly at support at wordpress dot com to negotiate.
