> I think it would be better to teach these children how to use LaTeX.

Hahaha! Sorry but I have seen students and teachers have enough trouble with Microsoft Office, let alone with LaTeX. It does create beautiful output but when you sit a student down in front of Notepad and tell them to create a document they wouldn't even know/remember where to begin.

I think a lot of people outside the education sector have very little idea how inexperienced some computer users are.

Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
