Re: More attention to KDE Education project
by Henry S. on Thursday 25/Oct/2007, @16:07

Please read the following as a disagreement on what schools teach, not as a Microsoft vs Linux flame:

The purpose of computers in most public schools isn't to train kids to be Quickbooks gurus or Microsoft Access gurus, it is usually to teach them to type, read, or do math. The only general software *most* kids learn in school is word processing and spreadsheets, and they only do basic stuff which is the same regardless of system. The more advance computing in schools is usually done in programming classes...and for that, they probably should be using Linux.
