Linux in Schools

http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/09/linux_in_schools.php
"This is an excellent guest post by Scott Rowed on the use of Linu in K-12 schools, including strong evidence that school districts tha do not have students using the Linux operating system are placing their students at a disadvantage, as well as a description of on outstanding success story in British Columbia.""Learning Linux in school can be compared to French Immersion. Just as students in the French program still learn English, students learning Linux will still be exposed to Windows and Mac computers sufficiently to learn what they need. Linux, as well as French, can open up career opportunities that otherwise may not be possible."
