My daughter seemed kind of "meh" on Scratch, but still interested in learning to program. I think she sees me spending most of my day working within an editor or the command line and the highly graphical authoring environment of Scratch doesn't fit the idea she's got in her head of what "real" programming should be. I'm not sure if I should correct her or embrace the fact that she wants to learn "the hard way."
