I was fortunate to go to a high school that got a single Apple ][+ in the science department for physics, and a grant to pay a student programmer to develop educational physics software. I was further fortunate to be the student programmer, which was amazing after spending the past few years punching FORTRAN IV and COBOL on cards using an IBM 029 and batching them to the school district's IBM 360 overnight.
