I took a programming class at my high school in 1994. I was a sophomore and had been programming for a decade, including several internships. It was the first time the school had ever offered a computer class and on the first day the teacher started copying down code onto the whiteboard and as she did I and several other punks in the class started pointing out errors in her logic and syntax. At the end of the first day the school administration decided to make it a "study on your own" class. I learned a lot, mostly by heading out to the local bookstore and going through a few tomes.
