"20% are teaching something akin to core CS" seems to be a huge over estimate (off by 100x?). Most high schools would just have 1 CS teacher at most, right?

- gorgoiler 5y agoIt’s a nod to the future for sure but we had 80 teaching staff, 3 full time CS teachers, 2 more doing design and technology which incorporated some low level C, 1 more from Physics doing STEM extras and 1 in Geography who was 50% time doing lab work for other subjects. Until CS is a core subject that’s going to be it for staff levels who do coding, but the elephant in the room is the Mathematics team. They are enormous in any school, and if they incorporate discrete math into their core with one semester of coding you now have another 8-10 teachers who would all really benefit from Replit. So yes, 20% is a stretch, but CS taught as a core subject is coming.
