        Teaching logical thinking is a fine educational goal.  I most
certainly see a need for schools to do so.  Unfortunately, not all
students are motivated to take mathematical courses which promote such
skills.  I wonder if they would be more inclined in a programming
course?  Writing a program that works is a very positive experiences.
It should be a source of inter - motivation.
