Dear god no

I have just found out that in West Australia, 11th year students in IS/CompSci classes have some of my articles as part of their curriculum.

Dear West Australian students. I am so sorry about that. I had no idea.

There's something very, very wrong with this.

On the other hand, I have to say that the student in said class with whom I've corresponding has the proper amount of intelligence, cynicism, and sarcasm to be a top-notch IT person. She's also able to write a proper english sentence, which makes said correspondence much nicer.

But it's still wrong that they're doing such cruel things to young people in Australia.

Dude, just pick up a copy of "Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes. This sort of abuse and torture is part and parcel of the whole Australian experience. ;)
