When I was in high school, they seemed to fear *nix and students that wanted to learn about it. "Telnetting" was forbidden, and a terminal window would get your privileges revoked. At one point we were allowed to have our on Linux server which we used to learn how firewalls, web servers, networking, and the like all worked, but they canned that program and took on a "anything-we-don't-understand-is-bad" philosophy.
Good to see the high school education available is improving.
A credit check is a good idea if you are applying for any sort of financial position... After all, who wants someone to be their head accounting or CFO if they have a history of making financial mistakes?:)
