I just completed a computer science 11 course.  I'm 36 years old and I've 
worked with computers for some time, but half the class are kids learning 
this for the first time.  The problem at our local school is they keep the 
computers too long., they're full of little glitches and the less experienced 
students become discouraged because they think they did something to make it 
crash.
I also think the network specialist is a bit of a boob!  I know its hard with 
tight budgets but school boards have got to stop hiring low-bidders for 
contracts.
The public shool system needs CASH!  Maybe its time the government stopped 
contributing to private schools and let the parents pay for it.  T.A.
