Windows Free----

On: Followup To "When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux"

I'd like to see a Windows-free educational system.

Yes! No Windows. Put them in the cellar. There is much less distraction if they cannot have a look outside!

Re:Why?

On: Limiting Kids' Computer Time?

Why ? Do you have any kids yourself ?

• You know, little kids cannot estimate time intervalls very well. They do not know exactly if an hour or four have passed.
• I am a caring father, but there are times the kids have to play themselves, because there are things that have to be done in a family. I cannot give them 100% of my time, as much as I would love to. So you have to have some things they can do alone. Working on the computer is one such thing, but it can be a bd thing if too much time is spent just glariung into the tft -> You need to set a time limit.
• Why are you limiting other things like TV or eating chocolate ? Why should they go to bed on a given time ?

Yes, we see it here in the computer school I am working for (part time). The courses called "BLABLA for Windows" are stagnating or even have decreasing numbers of students. The courses which are getting more popular are more goal oriented like "Computer and Kids" or "Club management by PC", etc....

Take the best tool for a given problem.. That will be nice if people begin to do that....
