Hello!
I used to post on this forum years ago. It's interesting to see that it's still alive and well.
I see there's also an Open Turing now available! Do kids still actually learn this stuff in school?

| I've been expecting a decline, but search results for things like "turing download" keep on coming in strong; so it looks like it's still used in schools. |

| It depends on your teacher, really. My teacher in particular really hates turing, but he loves teaching it because it's very easy to grasp |

| The reason why Turing is still being taught is probably because of the fact there's no prerequisite for grade 11. I know that's what it's taught in my school, you teach the grade 10's turing, then in grade 11 you teach everyone C# (or really any language that is actually useful). If there was a prerequisite for grade 11, they would just start teaching the useful language in grade 10 instead. |
