I completely agree here!

I find way way too many programs to help 6yr olds learn to type,
preschoolers use the mouse, following patterns (blinKen), and then
there's really good but advanced tools that I can't use.

I then see students who are struggling with basic algebra who could
really do with a decent educational program... but there's nothing.
