Our own IT class was pretty much our teacher sat on the front desk reading the newspaper while everyone else browsed the internet.

That sounds like an utter waste of money.

Yeah, it was. To be honest I didn't complain about a free hour to goof around online back then... yet it would've been cool if he actually, ya know, taught us computer stuff.

when I was a child we had a computer class that was basically 'how to use windows 95'

Yeah they did Death. Just like Nokia took out snake from their phones.
