The IT teacher in my school hated me and my friend because we could code and he couldn't. He actively discouraged us from teaching ourselves to code.
He is still there at the school 20 years later apparently.
Damn, it really bugs me to find out that computer classes have been dumbed down to that sort of level. Computer Science was about programming and hardware in my day. If you wanted to know about Excel and Word then you had to sit in the typing classes with the girls!
One thing that did upset us computer geeks was when they replaced our two Research Machines 380Z machines with 3 brand new BBC Model B computers (for 25 of us to use)... and replaced the 15 manual typewriters in the typing class with 15 BBC Model B computers!
I think my worst memory was having to flowchart my A Level project. I know the flowchart was worth 5% of the exam total, but I'm sure as hell certain that nobody waded through my sheets of paper to see if it was correct.
