That's especially "funny" when thinking about all the fuss that is made about teaching children programming in school. They should start with teaching them reading.
I don't even mean this snarky. The state of affairs is actually depressing and I would welcome it very much if more people around would be able to read, understanding what's written. Would make a lot of things easier for everybody I guess.

This would likely require teaching students at least basic logic. This was entirely absent from my school experience. It’s a hugely undertaught and undervalued skill, IMO. Before we start shoehorning CS into high school curriculums, we should consider laying these foundations first.
