In Hacker Highschool, Students Learn To Redesign the Future

caseyb89 writes "Hacker Highschool is an after school program that teaches students the best practices of responsible hacking. The program is open source, and high schools across the country have begun offering the free program to students. Hacker Highschool recognized that teens are constantly taught that hacking is bad, and they realized that teens' amateur understanding of hacking was the cause of the biggest issues. The program aims to reverse this negative stereotype of hacking by encouraging teens to embrace ethical, responsible hacking."

In Soviet Russia, high school hacks you.

Hacking was always good.

The bad people just got the title 'Hacker' assigned by stupid, lazy people in the media -- you know, the kind who are utterly mistified as to why anyone would want to surf a web.

I just awoke from a 30 year long coma, and I find this joke to be fresh and original!

But that of course would be "immature"—no, friends, "amature" is a fine example of a brilliant mondegreen malapropism, combining all the best features of the ambiguity of amorality with the passionate interest of amateurishness. It is the state of the teenager who has absolutely no idea what maturity is, and so proceeds through life passionately foolish. Like 4chan.

You want to understand how a gadget works? That's against the DMCA, you terrorist hacker criminal scum. Be a good consumer and drop that screwdriver right now or I'll be forced to put you down.
