                       ¯Learning to Program® 

        At my school they have several prerequsites to learn to program. 
 These prerequsites are totally stupid. Read on and ye shall be enlighented. 

 
        If you want to take Basic(yes basux) in my school you have to take  
 Computer Literacy. Now I believe that is one of the stupidest things on  
 the face of this earth. I mean If you know nothing about a computer why  
 would you want to learn to program one? You see that is not all the problem 
 the problem is you see they put you in a class where you already know 100%  
 of the material, and the teacher has no clue about what it is he is tslking  
 about. I mean on the tests some of the multipule choise questions have all  
 the wrong answers and you don't have a choice of the correct anwser. They 
 finnally removed that course last year. 

        Secondly in my school if you want to learn to program in pascal 
 the say you need to have taken Basic as a prerequset. Now this is so 
 utterlly stupid. I mean Basic and Pascal are two totally diffrent  
 programing lanuages. My frien who has taken both courses in school  
 has forgoten everything he learned in Basux, so dosen't that tell you  
 that something is totaly diffrent about thoes two lanuages? I mean If one 
 has just learned to program in Basic just the year before, and then goes on  
 to learn Pascal, and then proceads to forget what he learned the year 
 before even though he has been programming for the whole summer has got to 
 tell you something. 

 
        So in conclusion if you want to learn to program while your still  
 in school here is a few steps to learn to program. Step 1 go to your 
 school library. Step 2 Find a book on the lanuage you want to learn  
 to program in. Step 3 Go to the librarian's desk. Step 4 wipe out your 
 student ID. Step 5 check the book out. Step 6 go home and D/L a decent 
 complier from your favorite BBS. Step 7 open book and read it, but don't  
 forget to try out the examples, for it is through experiance with wich to  
 learn.
