I hope not as well, but I went through the same school system. In 1994 I took a computer graphics course, and was taught Apple Basic. It was fun, but I already knew Atari Basic, so it didn't really help other than creatively. The skills did not transfer, even when I went to DOS QuickBasic in 1996! I hope that they have people that understand development, but I won't hold my breath. At least if he is stuck with v1.5, I can use it as an opportunity to increase my knowledge on newer versions, assuming he enjoys the language. I haven't even used or deeply looked into lambdas in Java (but have in a few other languages). He's enjoyed playing with Lua for Roblox, and I've gotten him to go through some of the easier C# tutorials from Microsoft where the execution happens right in the browser.
