I dunno about anybody else, but to me teaching people how to convert word problems into code/simulations and how to interpret the results is one of the most important things a country that wants to be wealthy and powerful in the future should be doing.
I've always admired folks who can do these sorts of things in their head, while it takes me a bunch of time to inspect the code and convince myself it's an accurate representation of the word problem.
