Fixed that for you. I had good informatics teachers 10 years ago.

As in complexity of sorting functions? We did that, non-rigorously.
I just don't see how, say, meiosis and mitoses or vulkanism are any more mandatory to learn than e.g. Codd's normal forms or the workings of an ALU.
- btilly 9y agoI described what I actually witnessed happening to my children in supposedly good California schools. It fits a pattern that has been frequently seen over a long time with a variety of technical subjects that were pushed to schools, starting with the New Math debacle back in the 50s and 60s. I'm glad that you personally had a better experience. I believe that I described something closer to what we should expect to happen with such initiatives.
