Re:As a teacher...

As a parent, I'm ashamed and worried that an 'Educator' could be pushing Microsoft products to children, when children in, say, China (the world's biggest country by population) and India are learning to use free software and are preparing to wipe North American kids intellect off the board with what they are learning.

I'll take an educator who has the vision to prepare kids for the future any day over an edumacator who just wants the status quo of giving kids an edumacation.
Any teacher not willing to take kids into the future should quit. Period.
