I have to teach a piece about the dishonesty and unfairness of using work computers for personal mail.
Oh FFS ! It's a good thing I'm not teaching your class. That bit would come out terribly sarcastic !
As far as the rest goes, look at it this way: The trouble with the rise of computing is that it's a way for clever people (who by and large did pretty well for themselves anyway) to do better, whilst dim people become less employable. What you represent is the last realistic hope for a bunch of kids who aren't holding three aces to raise their game enough not to crash and burn horribly.
Sure, it's their least favourite subject and they don't take it seriously, but when they're applying for their first 11K/yr dead-end job in an insurance office they won't get employed because they have a C and two Es, they'll get employed because they have some clue how to use a standard software package or two.
