C++ is what's being taught in High School... (Score 1)

Currently, if you take AP Computer Science in high school, you'll learn C++. If you don't know what the AP program is, basicly at the end of the year you take a test. Depending on how you do on the test, you can actually get college credit for the class you took in high school. The AP program is ran by the college board (the same people who run the SAT tests), and you can look at info on the course at http://www.collegeboard.com/ap/computer-science/

I'm a senior in high school right now, and I took AP Computer Science last year (the first year that they taught C++ instead of Pascal), and I'm glad I took it. Not only did I learn a lot, I also got to know the school's network administrator who offered me a job over the summer and I'm still working for him doing stuff with our school's computers.
