[game_edu] watered down CS programs

[Jason Della Rocca]

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing, John!

I've re-attached the doc, because I am guessing that many folks joined the 
list only after you sent it.

I must say that I mostly agree with that you are saying. But, is there 
really no room for vocational oriented training?

What do other's think?

Jason
