How about dejockifying public education?
My experience is that many people inclined towards a compu-career have been turned off physical exercise, thanks to jocks. Competitive sports have become a religion in many schools, where nothing else matters but a winning team to bring glory. Phys-ed has become a grade factory for jocks, and a source of persecution for non-jocks. Add to that the castes that develop, based on physical size and development.
That means:
Making schools a place for education rather than musculotonic social dominance.
Removing extramural sports.
Emphasizing non-sport activities (e.g. running, swimming, martial arts).
Replacing "team-ism" with individualism.
Teaching students to love and respect their bodies.
Fairness to all students, regardless of physical condition.
Firm and consistent discipline.
Prevention of bullying.
Just imagine, more people having a healthier attitude towards exercise and fitness.
