In my primary school we had a basic computing class. We'd use different programs to familiarise ourselves with both the hardware and software. It would arise in other classes too, where it made sense - I remember typing my short story up into (whatever word processor the BBC Micro had). We even used LOGO - although with little success for most of the class. When you have to ask one of your students to help and fix problems on the computer, it's not a good sign, and the teachers often leant on me. So for a start that is the main problem in schools IMO. No point having a subject if people can't teach it properly.
