Thats the way we had it...started with LOGO. (Score 1)

Well, I am about to cross the teens, and I still remember the way our teacher in 5th grade (India here...so don't compare the 2nd or 5th grades etc.) told us what LOGO was. Yes, she said LOGO was a language (okay..controvertial..). We started with LOGO....drawing figures. Then we were told that we could do calculations with LOGO !!! this showed is the PRINT command in LOGO. Then we moved to the PRINT command in BASIC, along with all LET, FOR , etc. . . . . then you can add other languages, perhaps starting with PASCAL, then C, C++...and the list can go on and on... But yes, don't tell the kids to leave the "good-looking" Win98 and switch to *nix early... Let them see the weaknesses and strengths of each OS themselves.... And yes, btw, some schools here (not all) still start with LOGO these days.
