One of the reasons many school tried to teach computer programing was because they got these computers. My H.S. was one of the first with a lab of personal Apple Computers. (Before the Mac) But there wasn't much to do with them. There weren't really any good word processing programs yet. AKA teach everyone programing.

Problem was qualified teachers were thin on the ground. A took one such programing class that was the old typing teacher teaching Basic "by the book" and 3 of us coding circles around the teacher in the back.
