> They are way ahead of the rest of us on much of this stuff, having cut their teeth on it at home and at school. Maybe this was just me, but I can't imagine the school aspect being further from the truth. In the schools I attended the closest I came to learning how to make a website was when, in a science class, we were given step by step instructions on how to make a graph in excel. "Click File then select <button>. Next click on <button>". You get the idea. If the graph didn't look identical to the teachers we had to do it over again. They were trying to teach us how to do very specific tasks on a very specific set of software, and were failing even at that. And that I was constantly berated for my failure to fill out the worksheets that they called "homework", because I was busy teaching myself OpenGL, doesn't make me any happier about schools getting any sort of credit for my abilities.
