I thought about it. My two daughters are in that very age bracket. The older one is off to college in the fall and just did a year-long reasearch project which, per the instructions of her teacher, did it 'all wrong' by our standards: data analysis, regression, charts in Excel; write-up in Word and presentations in Powerpoint. But it would take more time and effort that I have available to work with the teachers etc pp. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.software-carpentry.org http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
