Not to mention that using N different sorting algorithms as your introduction to computer science (as is often the case) has to be the most boring, un-motivating content to choose from. The only thing worse is "lets learn about recursion using the fibonacci sequence." Ugh.

+1000.

I 'learnt about recursion' from the fibonacci sequence four of five times.

Then one day I had to make a threaded message board. And I actually learnt about recursion.
