Russian handwriting in US classrooms in the computer age

[Dustin Hosseini]

I'm not sure if anyone has thought about this, but changing the keyboard
layout on any PC or Mac is exceedingly easy these days.  All a student has
to do is add the keyboard layout and apply it.  

Macs come with the normal and "phonetic" Russian keyboards as a standard. 
With PCs, and a Windows-based computer with unrestricted access can easily
be modified to suit the needs of the user.  

Therefore, these arguments about learners being faced with a Russian
"gosstandart" keyboard layout in Russia are all completely invalid.  

Let the learners choose what is best for them, after all, teachers are there
to facilitate their learning, not dictate it.
