	My wife teaches fourth grade and is the Apple II "Wizard" at her
school where they have a 10 station "network" of Apple IIe machines.  As
soon as her kids have a little keyboard skill, she teaches them Bank
Street Writer because she feels that "know one and you can learn 'em
all" and that what the kids need to know about computers is what they
can do for them.

	Yeah, you're right about the new Bank Street.  Next think you
know, they'll have to call it "Bank Word Street" or something.
