  • I was at a BBQ a year ago, I said to the “chef” to toast the buns and he looked at his dad in confusion, his dad shrugged and said “I dunno.”

    I then asked him if he liked toast, to which he obviously said yes. Anyway he toasted the buns and was an immediate convert.

    I think it’s a situation where they haven’t encountered it before. We can teach them to do better! Imagine a world of toasted buns…
















  • I feel for the teacher, Windows is still the predominant OS that is used by businesses worldwide and it’s unlikely to change any time soon. Ensuring the kids have some familiarity with it is important as when a lot of them go into the workplace their employer isn’t going to give them a choice of OS to use. A number of schools in my country now provide kids with Windows laptops that can be managed through group policies. I can imagine the teacher feeling frustrated at times as their teaching material will be geared to Windows and may face challenges in being able to grade your kid.

    It’s great you have given your kid experience in using Linux and that should set them up really well to working in a Linux based environment. Hopefully one day other OS will be added to teacher’s curriculum so that all kids have the opportunity to get hands on experience.
