Wow, I don't think I could home school. I just don't have
the patience or time.

Actually I tried teaching my 14 year old Amiga Logo (
written also by Carl ) when she was a lot younger, but she
tired quickly.
I think we want to do more immediately awesome stuff like
sending email from command lines, reading web pages,
screen scraping, etc.
I don't think we should shield them from raw Rebol at the
start .. we don't with English do we?
What do you think?
