> Computer science has evolved to include more than basic coding. A good class now includes lessons on artificial intelligence, media literacy, data science, ethics and biased algorithms, so “students know how to think critically to solve problems using technology,” Flapan said.
I can't imagine any students walking away from such a class retaining anything about any one of those subjects after the final exam.
- Cpoll 3y agoProbably more than the average student retains about Chemistry or Biology, by way of it being more applied. You could probably teach those topics entirely by analyzing Black Mirror episodes.
- ketzo 3y agoEhhhh. Sure, I doubt every student will walk away with all that info. But laying a foundation is super valuable. Just knowing what’s out there in the world is a big deal.

- ipaddr 3y agoMy highschool class was figuring out 4 sorting algorithms. We did that in 2 weeks and spent our timing writing machine language in C for demos. You remember how to do the things that are important.
