Like any profession there are average, below average, above average, brilliant and complete maroons involved in teaching. Hope she's really a gym teacher though.

My grandson uses Mandriva linux quite a few times a week to play those dopey online games a sixth grader likes. The grand kids likes it when I show em the effects in Compiz. Burning windows(not the OS),cubes and stuff on an old Dell laptop. We run OSX,XP, and various distro's of Linux on our little network and all see each other and use the same network AIO printer. I think kids should be exposed to all the OS's available. I like and dislike things about each OS. I sure hope this teacher researches this strange technology called Linux.

When I was teaching, 80% of all teachers were above average

Now, reread the article, but substitute marijuana for linux ... raising the bar!

Anyone else pick up that the kid might have been doing daddy's dirty work? I agree that they teacher acted inappropriately but remember there are always two sides to a story. Teachers have the authority to say what goes on in their classroom. If the laptop demonstration was disruptive to the classroom activities, then I say the teacher acted appropriately. Although, I letter that was sent to the child's parent was completely inappropriate.

What do you mean, pushing linux? I doubt a classroom full of grammar students would be all that interested in an OS. He was probably just showing off some of the graphic features linux has built in (wobbly icons, Compiz, etc). Why she would confiscate his disks instead of just telling him to put them away is beyond me. And the letter to the father is just classic.

So no, I don't think the kid was doing daddy's work. I think the kid is stuck with a an idiot of teacher given her response to the father.

So he just carries around Linux installation disks? Just seems a little strange to me.

Why? It says he was giving a demonstration, maybe he just liked it and wanted to show his friends. Considering you can run any linux OS off the CD without installing, it's a good way to let people try it.
