Hi Steve,
This is likely beside the point you were making about why programers end
up in math classrooms ect , but....
SA-->logic and proof is explored.  Spread sheets and CAI have nothing to do 
wit
SA-->math except teaching by rote which is useful for the elementary schools 
or
SA-->baby sitting.
 being mostly interested in elementary school work myself, I wondered
 what you meant by rote? The use of spreadsheets at the elementary level
 is one of the things I`m needing to explore. I was wondering about
 connections with elementary math. You seem to have alot buried in that
 statement. Perhaps you could say more please?
SA--> It is a disservice to the
SA-->curriculum that greater exploration is not given to data base managment.
    How do you think an 11 year old ought to explore this area?
 Peace
Bob
