Comment: High School Experience (Score 1) 632
Well, I was supposed to have typing classes in both the high schools I went to, but I managed to skirt around that requirement. In 10th grade (in 1999), I took elective classes in QBasic and Visual Basic programming the first semester, and then C++ programming in the second. Beyond that, I helped found a computer club....although, that quickly degenerated into a "play Starcraft after school" club, which was much more popular. When I was there, they had mostly phased out their ancient 386 machines and moved to some 166MHz Pentium II's. By 2000, I was in a different school, which had a number of computers open for student use, but no programming or computer science courses.
The first school was a DoDEA school in Germany. The second was a public high school in a fairly well off neighborhood in southern California.
