(#35kn2ia) @mckinley@twtxt.net I was lucky in a way: I was homeshooled and my studies were very much self-directed. My parents encouraged my interest in tech though they are complete muggles themselves and couldn’t teach me anything about it, so I was entirely self-taught – like many geeks, it seems. As for schools, I do think the situation is improving, at least from what I’ve heard from friends with school-age kids. @prologic@twtxt.net’s experience is reassuring. I’m sure it varies hugely from area to area though; it definitely needs to be a part of national curricula.
