I think you're missing the point. Also, I'm not blaming teachers. I'm not suggesting that the kids be taught OO (I assume you mean Open Office). OpenOffice is an *alternative* to MS Word, but we shouldn't really be aiming for 100% OpenOffice use anyway. If the National Curriculum states: "Kids must be trained to use MS Word" (broadly) then I believe that it is misguided.
