I always thought that python should be taught to young students 
(elementary, high school, first year college or non-cs college interested 
in programming).  Its fairly "clean" and easy to learn and use without 
having a deep understanding of programming.  I showed my wife, who is not 
technically inclined, a few things and she got it pretty quickly.  Its 
still fairly new though and I wonder how many teachers who teach this 
class of student knows about it.

I think it would be great if HOSEF could play some role in pushing this 
kind of knowledge to teachers who could then have an impact on young 
minds.
