Ok, point well taken.
To bring language learning back on-topic to computers, they learn no
programming languages at all, even BASIC, although one of the elective
courses in high school is Web programming and design. Still, only an
elective and not required.

Not to get too OT, but our district (Syosset CSD
in New York) starts
language in kindergarten and each year of grammar school exposes the kids to
a different language (Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian and Latin).
WOW!
That is wonderful! I am impressed.
Add in FORTRAN, COBOL, APL, C, Perl, Python, etc. and we will be back
ON-topic!
