["There's a 60 year old in one of my computer programming classes", "Oh well good for him! I don't see many older people actually making an effort to 'fool around' with technology, they all get too frustrated with it", 'I know. Most of us really admire him, but the professor was being really demeaning!']
Thats awful, if I were there and he crossed the line, I would speak to someone above him about it.
