This article is from weemba@brahms.berkeley.edu (Matthew P. Wiener) and was received on Fri Jul 25 21:44:12 1986 I just read in my paper (in a daily column called "Trendnotes"), that Florida has passed a computer literacy requirement that goes into ef- fect in fall 1987. Florida already has reading, writing, and math pro- ficiency tests for grades 3, 5, 8, and 11; computer skills are to be added to the existing tests: Third-graders must be able to power up and power down a computer in the correct sequence, execute a program, demonstrate the proper technique in operating a keyboard, monitor, disk drive and other hardware, and show proper care and hand- ling of storage materials. The tests get more difficult in later years of schooling. I doubt though that they will teach them any netiquette. ucbvax!brahms!weemba Matthew P Wiener/UCB Math Dept/Berkeley CA 94720
