So, what are we going to do about this? The fourth issue of the Logo 
Exchange (June '98) is being tentatively planned as "Looking for Logo in 
All the Wrong Places." I hope to spotlight the places where Logo is 
succeeding against the socioeconomic/political odds. Perhaps someone from 
Batlow can write something.

I reckon that one of the biggest obstacles to widespread Logo use in 
Australian State Schools is the incredible level of centralization 
involved. There is however a great deal of interest  in MicroWorlds, 
particularly in Victorian state schools. 

While we attempt to solve this huge problem, check out Geraldine 
Kozberg's inspirational discussion of the topic at:
