"conflict occurs --> ex. (list of examples or whatever)"

I know what you mean, though. All my teachers have been nothing more than users when it came to calcs; no programmers. I can understand it if they don't see the value in programming though, since most teachers like students to work as many things as they can out on paper.

We show them programs that we make and they are very surprised and intrested. Most of what we do in class involves the calc anyway so it benifits them and us.
EDIT:
WOW it is too easy to get around the schools blocks.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

It turned into an ultimate Frisbee club.
I'm still trying to figure that transition out... |

Total Posts: 1189 | I remember when I showed my CS teacher how threads worked back in the 2nd semester of CS I. She gave me extra credit because I wrote a bunch of example programs. Also I didn't have to do any homework because I showed her how to write a scripting language and interpreter in Java.

At my school, I'd just be lucky if my calculator wasn't confiscated...

Last year I showed my teacher the following programs in C:
1. Trig prog
2. Quadratic formula
3. Word processor featuring save and load.
That guaranteed me an A for the term...

In retrospect, I think it was a pathetic attempt at working with graphics (I used separate PictureBoxes for the board, each piece, what they look like when selected (red background) and I plan never to go back to VB.NET again.

Total Posts: 1189 | dprog is making the exact same point as haveacalc. He made some programs that aren't really all that exciting and his teacher was impressed because CS teachers are terrible programmers.
