The other fear would have been that children just learn the necessary sequences in which to push buttons rather than how to solve the set questions.
The really smart thing to have taught schoolchildren would have been how to use an abacus.
Sir Clive introduced thousands of youngsters to computer programming, which was certainly no bad thing.
Wonderful memories there from @equalsql. Sorry to hear in the other thread that Rick Dickinson also passed away not long ago.
I went the 6502 route - BBC, dragon, etc. not the Z80 but got a ZX81knocking about that still works.
what I really liked was the ergonomics and aesthetics of it. Even with the power of my ipad and phone, I loved the keyboard, the way it folded in half smoothly, and the fact that it did just slip into your pocket
Not sure when log books stopped as part of the syllabus - I'm guessing early 80's - I left school in 78
But, RIP Sir Clive. Another bit of my childhood gone.
