The State of ICT and Electronic teaching

As you know I am a passionate engineer and programmer. At my school I am very disappointed when I found what I would be learning. I found in ICT lessons we are not learning enough about using, programming and exploring computers. Unfortinatly that is classed as uni standard. Currently you will find that you only focus on Microsoft Office. Its a real shame. I suppose that you have to start from the very beginning as some of the other people arn't as well educated in ICT. For example I was in ICT yeasterday when another student asked me how to make a folder. I couldn't believe this. I thought it was the most obvious thing in the world. In ICT we are not learning general computer skills, we are learning Microsoft office skills instead. This is stupid as half the class don't know how to open Microsoft Office. Unfortinatly it is not their fault. The new Rasberry Pi is coming out soon ( For more info I suggest visiting The Geeks Classrook by Greg ) and I hope that will allow a lot more possobilities for children to learn programming.
