In high schools? :)
Seriously, that's where you find high school teachers.
I've been in high school environments where Python is
being taught, and that's why I'm a little skeptical
that folks arguing on either side of this argument are
maybe a bit too much in the ivory tower, and not
enough dealing with actual use cases.
The Chinese teacher that you mention made some
interesting points in his posts, and I take his
advocacy for PEP 3131 very seriously, but I think he
would actually be well served using a language more
suitable for educational purposes than Python. I have
experience with using a learning language in the
classroom, and it was very positive for students.
