      A great endorsement of the concept from a teenager.
  • computer in the hands of everyone will likely flood the market with mediocre programmers and make it more difficult for companies to discover the good ones. I have seen the destruction that weaker coders can bring to code bases, and while modern coding techniques largely mitigate the issues, I think that this move will have a positive impact on ‘better’ software houses and a detrimental impact on the rest of the industry.
  • The school buys a bunch of Raspberry Pis. Kids can bring their own SD card or buy 1 pre-configured and use the schools Raspberry Pi’s. Or pay a deposit (equaling the cost of a Raspberry Pi) and they can take it home and work on it in their own time. If they want to keep it they just let the school know and a replacement is bought with the deposit.
