I don't know. They need big time help. If you think that Public schools are bad you ought to see the Reservation schools!! Because of the lack of education of the older generation many leading officials have no education at all. Our school board President for this past year was a high school dropout. He was basically my boss. Many teachers here on the Rez are actually afraid of computers and only use them for wordprocessing and e-mail. Giant paper weights. Keith wrote:
Could they just get suse or mandrake on and at least use the available CD programs, along with the the word processors, etc.?
A strong comittment to rural schools. Where my mother in-law teachers for the S'kllalam Tribe in Washington State they had about 30 computers donated from a bank. Catch they have no operating system on them. I told her that it would be ideal to put Linux on those computers. They are dealing with M$ and the computers are still sitting.
