What you say is true and I am sure your program has merit. One thing you can
bet the forefathers did do before ever going out to chop their first bit of
wood is to make sure the ax was sharp. It is impossible to expect all
instructors to stay up with all the current technology as it develops at laser
speeds. A true literacy course should teach the basics of wood chopping
through real world classroom applications as well as teach ax sharpening skills
and inspire someone to invent a chainsaw. I realize everything has its place,
but computer literacy is much more than understanding how to use a word
processor or any other specific application for that matter.
