Re: Microsoft Designs a School :(

At first to anyone who knows how to use a computer for more than games, email, instant messaging and myspace, they look at this and laugh. Yet I want to go beyond that and actually talk about the ways this would greatly help students who do in fact only use computers for those listed uses.
Honestly in my school 90% of the people who walked into my CAD / Inventor class said something like this and I quote, "Oh snap yo, we gettah use computers!" Sadly I am not making that up. Another example would be in Calhounian's class where a teacher asked students to write their favorite computer application and students would write, "The internets" or "Myspace." The fact of the matter is regardless of whether or not Microsoft is doing this to build a dependency on Windows in those students, those students still need help! Badly! While not everyone in my school is completely computer illiterate, very few even know where to go when the computer is missing drivers.
Most of these kids would never consider a job even involving computers, yet the fact is there are very few jobs that do not depend greatly on computers. Giving them a daily education in a tech oriented school could help them very greatly in the long run.
All jokes aside we should be greatly supporting this because I do not know how much longer I can keep my other thoughts from exploding when I explain to someone what a mouse is.
