I've skipped over a few posts so I hope this isn't redundant, but I
have been trying to get my kids into programming of any type for years.
 I have finally hit pay dirt with my 13 year old daughter and html, as
she took to building her own website.  I showed her some basic commands
and she went to town.  I'm running a server on my lan, my router wan is
broadband, so she doesn't have to deal with ftp, she just saves her
files over the network.  

On the other hand, our public schools teach robotics to only 'select'
kids, and it's messed up.  They only teach some fundamentals of
robotics, and have absolutely no electronic cirriculum underneath, so
the kids don't have a clue about resistors, caps, transistors, asics,
etc.  When they're in my basement the are amazed at stupid circuits I
build.  Then I hand them my "Lectron" set from when I was a kid (well,
I had to buy it on Ebay) and let them build up circuits on their own.
