Your March Cover Story "New Ways to Learn" was an excellently conceived, brilliantly executed article and a great service to those of us who slug it out in the process of moving the rock. I need to present the keynote to the umbrella organization for educational leadership here in Maryland, and my task will be much easier by the ripple in the information environment your article caused. I can just hear all the people in school systems ripping it out, digesting it, and including your ideas in their reports.

When I read "New Ways to Learn," I was looking for something we could actually apply in the real world of reduced educational budgets. All I found were expensive alternatives to human contact. Andy Reinhardt suggests the federal government pick up the $8 billion to $9 billion cost to connect every school
in America to the data highway. Connecting the schools is only the initial cost. Does anyone really believe that this country will provide such funding when most classrooms don't even have a telephone?

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
