I think I mentioned something similar on /. ... IMO all kids at school should be taught an ugly, difficult language like x86 assembly. Hardly any of them will understand it to a significant degree, but they will appreciate how difficult working with computers is. They will be more impressed with say, grep, or the original DOOM game. Some of those kids will grow up to be somebody's boss, that potentially annoying, ignorant boss that expects you to juggle knives while tap-dancing in clogs.
