I tried to make my school to teach us Unix/Linux/Programming/SysAdministartion
but I got an answer like this:

For what should we teach Linux/Unix at school?
No one does really use it, Windows is much better.
Programming: Well we teach Pascal, isn't that enough?
SysAdministration: There are special courses for that, why should we teach it?
Even if we wanted to teach that, we can't, we don't have teachers that know
the subject ell enough to teach it and we don't have money for that.

If you planning to teach children in school about Linux, I think that you
should try to do it again in about 5 years.
