1. At school we seldom deal with lot of data - the focus is more on concepts.
Excel is an excellent tool
That is at best debatable, and IMHO just plain incorrect. I firmly
believe
that Excel is a ***TERRIBLE*** tool.
and no matter how much we love or hate it - we will be using Excel a lot in our
lives.
This is not (unfortunately IMHO) debatable. It is all too sadly
true. For most
people at least. (Not for my very good self. I can get away with
eschewing
Excel. Most people are not lucky enough to have that option.)

I think much of the remainder of the post was highly disputable as
well,
but I will desist at this point.
