Why my kids will learn to code as a second language
- kafkaesq 11y agoJust putting this out there, even though I find this particular trend quit worrying: The idea of programming as a second language first gained traction around the U.S. about a year ago, when Texas, Kentucky, and New Mexico introduced legislation allowing a computer course to serve as a foreign-language requirement. This past month, the Florida Senate endorsed making coding count as a foreign language credit for high schoolers, with one senator proclaiming “Let’s give our students a valuable skill that they’re going to use forever.”
