I'm a little confused here : In the american public education system
"K" stands for "Kindergarten" (ie 5-6 year olds) and "10" would be
10th grade, or a high-school sophomore (15-16 year olds). Middle
school is grades 6-8 and high school is 9-12.
This is not neccessarily true, it varies from school district to school
district. At my school district (Caeser Rodney District in Kent County,
Delaware) we didn't have a Middle School and Junior High was grades 7-8.
Surrounding school districts mostly had Middle Schools, but the grades
varied from district to district.
I guess you mean that you are in 10th grade (or your local equivalent)
because middle school is really young to be understanding how Unix (or
computers in general) work. I started out with DOS 3.3 in 7th grade,
and to tell the truth I didn't learn anything other than windows until
I started college (I had a brief glimpse of Solaris, but not enough to
understand that there was something other than MS and Apple :-)).
I don't know about that, when I was in 3rd grade (1979) they sent the TAG
kids to use a timesharing system at Delaware State College. I don't
remember what system it was using (not UNIX, the commands were more verbose,
ex. COPY instead of cp. Also I think I remember it being all capitals but
I can't remember.) In any case we became fairly profecient on it.
