@Moon I don't think kids are capable of administrative thought, in a certain sense. it's far easier to teach the problem solving necessary to program. to administrate, you have to have a business/operation plan, policies in place, a sense of operational and organizational order/discipline. it's really quite complex, if done properly. i think Minecraft created Realms to address exactly that. they drop the admin parts into the game ui itself, and they can switch gamemodes and do fun game things without having to "java -jar xMs1024M" and all that jazz
