IT Support
Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

It's
because "ITC" classes are all about how to use Microsoft Excel and Word, and absolutely bugger all to do with computers. By the time they leave school, the version of Excel they were taught has had all it's menus fucked around with and looks unrecognisable to them.
Couple that with the fact that Microsoft are sponsering our state schools, and you will find that this trend will get worse rather than better.
"ITC Class" = "Learn to almost use Microsoft software".
Of course, if it were Pepsi, or Burger King, it wouldn't be allowed. I find it difficult to find a difference.

Maybe burger king could sponsor home economics
Then they would have a generation of pre-trained burger flippers.
