Our educational system is so antiquated. If they could only teach kids how to be self motivated. I know when I was young, I didn't care about making grades, but to have the power to write video games was prety damn cool. Videogames 101, robotics 101, those should be a high school electives, kids would love it.
I remember having an excel class in high school as a required elective. Spreadsheets are important of course. It's amazing how many white collar office people still don't know the basics of it -- but how hard is it to fit in two weeks of simple scripting? I think kids learning even just the bare mechanics of programming could be better off
