Actually we don't teach Python in elementary - the conference covers the
K12 space. We actually teach programming in the elementary grades with
Scratch at the moment. We have taught Python to 8th graders however, and
it's gone quite well.
Out of curiosity, is it *Python* in elementary you find wrong, or is it
the idea of teaching programming? And if it's Python, what have you
found evil about teaching Python in the lower grades?
Cheers,
Vern

Well, I guess it could be worse -- you could've been pushing java :)

Hey,
I'm pleased to report that the Python Software Foundation board has
voted
to
give me a grant of $500 to help cover my travel to the National
Educational
Computing Conference (NECC) this June to give a presentation on
teaching
Python programming in K12 schools. They don't give out that many
grants,
so
I'm feeling pretty special... ;)
Cheers,
Vern
