The comments on the source page are great:

Looks like there are a few people who missed the point... 
I also love how a lot of people commenting seemed to think that HTML was a programming language, not a scripting language, and that it actually taught you something about programming, besides the fact it involves typing certain phrases and keywords to perform a task.
Yeah, that was funny. I mean, what programming does HTML teach? You don't even have to worry about capital and non-capital letters (unless your using XHTML).

I didn't even use loops when I started programming; my loops were: Lbl 1
1+A -> A
If A < 10
Goto 1
Lbl B
getkey -> G
Goto B
I was living in a utopia where pesky while loops didn't exist. (what are they for, anyway. Probably for some newb who doesn't know about goto). Now I realize that I was the newb.

Yeah, I was totally lost when I realized that python didn't have a goto command. I even searched to find the equivelant. I obviously got nothing. Then I asked a friend and he's like; "Goto? what's that! We use loops! Are you from 1991 or what?"

Being free must be pretty nice. But I believe being homeschooled has its downsides also. For example you miss most of the social aspect of going to school (i.e. making friends is harder, poorer social skills), but I wouldn't be surprised if that wouldn't be a problem for many people. How about higher education? How does a homeschooled person prove a university he is qualified enough to enroll?
A common misconception and I don't blame you for it. You get the same amount of interactivity as regular school through homeschool groups and other extra-curricular activities. For instance, my family skis and my dad is on ski patrol. I belong to a homeschool ski club where we meet 3-4 times a week. And I meet with other homeschooled kids every day. About higher education: We take staderdized tests, SAT's, ACT's, etc. just like normal schooled people. I know several people who were home-schooled and are now in major colleges. One guy i know is a software engineer and was homeschooled his whole life.

I got my start with TI Basic. I am the only programmer in my school. 83 series calcs are required for math classes. There are 2200 students in my school.
I see a problem here, how about you?
I proudly say that half of our AP Stat class knows how to program TI-BASIC!
AP Stat class is boring...
Congrats! Now you need to get the other half hooked...

Homeschooling is COOL! I wake up about 8, get on here, do khanacademy.org and some other educational websites, do some exercises in books, and thats a school day. Today I'm already finished math, Literature, etc. so I'm experimenting with python right now. I keep an eye on omni all day long. Its a nice life.
You go at your own pace, so I'm in calculus and Physics and 11th grade English.

OK. I don't know if your country has a public school system. public school is provided by the govt, and you pay for it with your taxes. private school you pay tuition.
