What if we called it something like "Computer Arts", "Computer Ed", or "Computer Shop" (a la Sex Ed, Phys Ed, Wood Shop, Metal Shop) and treated it less as a science at this point, and more like we treat vocational or elective courses? Focus less on the programming aspect, and more on fundamentals of logic, how to troubleshoot problems, understanding the abstractions, how a network works, basic security practices, how to use a command line interface, general programming _concepts_, etc. They could take this course as a required class their freshman year in HS, and the school could offer other more advanced courses available as electives to more senior classes, AP courses, etc.
