Comment(by HoboPrimate):

 What is happening here is a duplication of the same option in the Control
 Panel, under Network and Power.

 Apparently the option in Power is the overriding one.

 I think that, the thinking of adding the same option under Network was for
 those more savvy users who know what a wireless radio is, and want a way
 to turn it off, and thus go looking for it under Network.
 On the other hand, non-savvy users who may care to save as much power as
 possible will go looking in Power.

 Since this is a laptop for kids, I would go with the 2nd option.

 But If you want to cater to both kinds of users, then make the strings of
 the options be the same, and make it so both options are synchronized to
 avoid what happened to the reporter of this ticket.
