I know for me the traditional school system was of little use to me in a scholastic sense where at around age 13 I taught myself to program. From there on in it taught me nothing I couldn't (and did) teach myself.
What it DID teach me however is important social interaction skills, patience and gave my parents some much needed breathing room. ;)
- dood 17y agoI also taught myself programming/CS as a teen. Funnily enough, I later ended up teaching my computing classmates because the real teachers were so bad. One teacher was so bad that one of his lessons actually removed my understanding of some CS concept I had understood for years.
