Thundercats was sci-fi actually. They came to Earth from another planet. They had sophisticated machines: The Thundertank, their weapons, WilyKit and WilyKat's hoverboardsl,etc...they lived in a big cat like fortress with computers and lasers.

I still haven't figured out why GOTO is so demonized and I've been coding for 30 years. If you find you need to use, then yes, you probably need to go back and rework your code. But let's face it: In the real world sometimes you just need to get this code out the door and working. "GOTO is bad" is just a ridiculous mantra repeated over and over with many people not even understanding why....frankly, so is "VB is bad".

In the early 80's pretty much every common computer you could get came with BASIC. It may not have been real useful in real life (well, actually it was since my first job was VB4), but I was 10 years old and teaching myself how to program. BASIC was awesome back then. It made me interested in computers.

On top of that, the low pay and asshole students make teaching a very thankless profession. That's why most people who have an ounce of brains do something else. If we would treat our teachers better we'd probably get a better quality of people into the profession.

And then there's people like yourself who think it's the teacher's fault their spoiled kids aren't learning anything. I'm concluding this by your third sentence where you suggest that all of the existing teachers are of low quality. Your little snowflake couldn't possibly be at fault, could he/she....must be the teachers.
