  I am glad to see that someone is going to start treating this
topic, but so far, you are the only one that has responded.  I
am serving on an America 2000 committee and we are really haveing
a problem with this.
  The only standard we have locally is that elementary students
will be "computer literate."  Otherwise, we use the state's
standards.  They are fairly reasonable - you could probably write
our State Education Dept. and get copies - but I am not sure how
much they are actually used by the teachers "in the trenches" - so
to speak.
