Amen.  And yes, I mistook Bruce's comments to be general, forgetting that the
topic at hand was computing in _schools_.  I'm still ambivalent about
computers in school, but being a computer guy myself, I'm not sure I'm
totally against it.  Then again, I've never had 25 young 'uns to teach and
take turns on the computer, so I'm not sure how difficult it is to manage
computer time.  Perhaps a separate computer lab where each class has X amount
of time during the day all scheduled ahead of time.  That way the computers
always get used but aren't distractingly in the classroom the rest of the
time.

Dunno,
