> ...an unusually open minded computer teacher.

I've heard this story several times before and I, myself, had an unusually open minded computer teacher as a youth. I'm beginning to suspect this attribute is is not so unusual amongst computer teachers as has been assumed.

I learned absolutely nothing from my AP compSci teacher in highschool, java was taught at the time, I missed the c++ version by a year.

He was awful. I learned nothing.
