I'm 19 now, and went to public school in Miami, FL for K-12. As far as programming instruction, we got a little exposure to Logo when I was in 4th and 5th grade, drawing buildings and other such things. In 8th grade, I took a class called "Computer Programming." This class spent half the year teaching QBASIC, the other half on Logo. Due to my previous Logo experience, I was able to convince the teacher to let me do QBASIC the entire year and continue on to the advanced projects while the rest of the class did Logo.

In high school, no computer programming courses or instruction were offered. Personally, I think that's a problem. The fact that there is a woodshop or home economics class available to me in high school but not a computer programming class seems ass backwards to me.
