Computer HomeworkI.T. lessons didn't exist until my third year at secondary school, by which time I was programming on the C64.
Our lessons consisted of stuff like 'dry running' BASIC programs (laughable even then). I therefore did the homework program in 30secs, and sold it to the illiterate blasphemers that made up my class.
The first time, we all got detention for having the same homework, and I got a beating.
After that, I'd do 4 versions of the same homework/ program, and sell those.
However I was so contemptuous of my teachers (who were all in the I.T. stone age) that I never handed in my own, thereby dropping out of the O level class and failing even my CSE.
