I did A-level IT - the teacher (now sacked) was an old physics teacher that my school moved across in the 70's to teach computers, since physics/maths were closest to IT at the time.
He decided to split the sets based on score of a big IT test, but rather than taking the top 20 into set 1 etc., he set a hard limit e.g. Top set were people that scored over 90%. This meant my A-level class consisted of 3 people. The only lesson he taught in 2 years was 'how binary works' The rest of the time he went into the staff room and never reappeared. For me IT/IS and computer science were all basically the same thing. I completed my generic spradsheets/relational database coursework and then started learning VB - probably out of boredom. I also learnt a lot about security during this time - there were more computer rooms than computer staff, so certain people were selected as prefects to look after these rooms. My room was H6 in hawkins house - there had been a sudden upsurge in (forbidden) gaming that I was supposed to prohibit (Duke Nukem!) During this 2 year period, the head of IT never figured it was me installing these games. It was a good situation - he kept buying security and snooping software and showing me how it worked, thereby enabling me to bypass it  I suspect I learnt more through this than I would have in a traditional taught class
