xkcd has this spot on

I’m sorry but i have to object. For myself i knew at a fairly early age what i was and wasn’t interested in. This came from next to no experimentation out of school hours on my part. I feel the curriculum at the time i was in school was conducive to setting the foundations for me. Simply put if you aren’t interested in a subject you wont want to pursue it – no amount of stimulation from anyone can change this.
I will concede though that for those few “gifted & talented” people,Windows 7 Starter Key, having more opportunities to go out into the real world on work experience or even having the chance to have group talks with someone from the industry would benefit those that are interested and whereby the time wont be wasted.
At the end of the day IT in schools (at the time i was there anyway) in its rawest form prepared people for an ever changing world. What good would a school be if at the end of it no one knows what a computer is or how to even perform basic tasks that would be needed in almost any career they ended up in. If a pupil is interested in a topic then they will generally chase it in some way or another.
