You seem to have "good writing". Could you write a novel, with a captivating, nonobvious plot, interesting characters and a twist ending? You probably can score ok in a math SAT. Can you visualize the mathematics of a quaternion, or formulate the equation for an n-sided betzier patch? The work a linguistic/novelist/journalist or a mathematican is not on the highscool level. Neither is the work of a programmer. I do believe basic programming should be taught, just like basic math and writing skills. But that has absolutely nothing to do with proffessional programming.
