We have the problem that most of the mouses we have in primary schools are 2 button or three button ones. The idea purchasing mouses with wheels is nice for kids. I agree with you that can be good for kids. > I think that for primary schools > double-click should always be totally removed. The web is a good example > of how you don't need it and most people get used to it very easily and > quickly. We disccussed this a lot when we were defining the mouse usability. We finally decided to use a double click for keeping some agreement between windows and linux usability. Anyway it is something ir can be changed in some schools or classes to see the practical differences.
