Prior to becoming a developer, I spent twenty years (1997-2017) teaching Computer Science at Leander High School.
It is (or was, at least -- I haven't looked since I left) a pretty good school; consistently ranked near the top 5% of public schools nationally. I had a lot of students who were exceptional but most of my students were regular kids with no particular aptitude for programming. I taught over 2000 students.
