Back in the ’80s, when I was a high school student at De La Salle College “Oaklands”,
I got a great computer science education thanks to my teachers Messrs.
Clarkson and Etele, who taught Waterloo Structured Basic, Pascal, and
6502 Assembler on a well equipped lab of Commodore PETs, Apple ][s and ICONs.
(Yes, they taught evolution at “Del”, and said that the creation account in Genesis was poetic, not literal. Nobody’s parents screamed, as far as I recall.)
In the present day, a Catholic School, St. Ignatius, is doing one
better: they’re teaching object-oriented programming by writing interactive fiction. I have more about it on The Farm.

I think it's scandalous how Catholic schools make their female students dress just like porn stars.
My brother went to SI! Heck, I would've gone to SI if the uber-nerd public high school hadn't accepted me.
Anyway, there's a strict dress code (shirts must have collars, no sneakers), but no uniforms at SI. So, no porn fantasies while you are in Interactive Fiction, unless a smart polo shirt does it for you.
At the end of high school, I went out with a preppy from Long Island. So yeah, smart polo shirts do it for me.
I think its scandalous that porn producers make their actresses dress like high school girls.
