Maine School & Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the insert-main-pun-here dept.

Feztaa writes "This story talks about a private school in Maine that has introduced linux into their computer labs, with smashing success. Apparently, they spent less than half of the money that other schools spent on new computer labs, and got better hardware to boot."

    Teaching kids linux in computer class in a country dominated by windows is like teaching kids French as a primary language in a country dominated by English speaking people.

    Thanks to this school's twisted morals, these poor children will never know how to operate a "normal" computer, and will only know a tiny niche system called linux.

    Children should be taught the fundamental computer applications such as Ms Word, Visual Basic, Internet Explorer, Excel, ect... not the hacked together "gnu" versions featured in linux.

    It is a shame these kids are being taught everything wrong, and will unfortunately have to RELEARN how to use a computer after school. Terrible.
