This is getting so far off the original topic. Teachers - Overworked! Underpaid! Unappreciated! They have to teach because they love it.
Whether they want to learn something new or not they don't have time. Why should they learn S or J or anything else with all the great computer learning tools for children around which carefully avoid getting anyone to really think. Make it all fun! Otherwise nobody is interested. Then they have education courses they must take on their own time to keep their certificates. Some people would rather challenged. Others want to avoid new things. I don't think that S will satisfy the needs of all teachers and students. Neither would J or anything other computer tool will meet the needs of everyone. I really have no idea where I'm trying to go with this. Sorry about the bitterness! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
