Im talking Mainstream

Im not being patronising just merely telling the truth. There are some excellent teachers out there. I myself have received excellent teachers for practical IT and networking in Richmond College and continue to do so at Kingston University.
Im talking Mainstream covering the whole population, sure there will be cases where it has had success but were talking mainstream here. At one of my workshops before i had an IT teacher come in who had completely mucked up her OS trying to Install panda antivirus how would you expect people like her to cope with an alternative (just yet i add).
People seem to forget that were involved in bringing technology to the mainstream here. I was disadvantaged at school by poor IT teaching (i had been in 5 schools) changing OS now would disadvantage thousands more.
Note also i would like to see an alternative as i've mentioned but we have to be practical. Maybe using say ubuntu and a small school in the uk and progress it from there if it works would be excellent, but we cant overnight disregard Microsoft because they are producing the goods ( maybe with the exception of vista).
