My elementary school has a single computer in what must have been a modified janitor's closet. TRS 80- Model 1.

This - only it was middle school. Educators gave it to the math department thinking they would know what to do with it. They didn't. I fully absorbed everything I could about it and taught the teacher. I should have submitted a bill..
Yep. I had the same experience in junior high.

The only time I really got in trouble in high school was when I reprogrammed a text-only football game on the library's Apple ]['s to change the names of the computer team's players to those of teachers and principals I didn't like. (This should establish that I was not actually all that much of a troublemaker in high school.)
