Every once in a while, I get to wondering if there would be a market for holding private lessons in Computer Science. Frankly, I have all the resources one would need to hold small group programming classes in my home — basically a good wireless network, and could even set up a good wired network.
Here’s why I got to thinking about it last night — one of my agility friends has a teen age boy who is not only interested in games, but in how they are written and is completely self taught. They do not offer any type of programming class in his school and she thinks it would be good for him. Of course, they live on the other side of the planet from me, and while I don’t mind losing my entire evening to dog training, I doubt she’d want to drive here.
The other reason is the time factor. I just don’t have any more hours in my day. I might have a few this summer, but since I’ve already decided to teach summer school to keep people out of my lab … I might not.
