I would imagine so...I just happened to go to school where the option
wasn't available and these days, I imagine that'd be too much work for
a lot of kids.  In my opinion, the school system in the US is going
downhill really fast.  My Uncle recently gave up teaching after finding
that he could no longer give students the grades they deserved.  The
parents would accept nothing less than 'A' grades and complain to the
principal or school board if he didn't change it.

Yep, to each his own...personally I find no use for a command line.
Don't know what I'd do with one other than ignore it....
