Computer classes in elementary school
• I went to one of the best schools in the country.
• My elementary school had 400 students. • We had one 40 minute computer class per
week.

Computer studies in high school
• My high school had about 800 students. • Only 15 out of 150 students in my year were
allowed to take the computer studies course. • The other options were cookery, needlework
and art.• Everyone had to take an aptitude test and be
invited to take the course.
