This article pissed me off, coding is a skill that teaches math, logic, comprehension, --all extremely important skills, it also teaches about consequences of actions via if/then statements we learn if we do something, it has a result. Kids need to learn this. It also teaches problem solving another crucially important skill - and I read STORY after STORY about a doctor, or lawyer who taught themselves to code to build an app... Why would a rich doctor or lawyer need to code if it wasn't important? Why waste the time or money to learn? There will be hundreds of areas in a person's life where they could potentially find a way to make something easier through coding, and coding can also be translated into REAL world stuff via arduino, raspberry pi, etc -- the fact is w/ the internet of things, wearable tech, and robots taking over the workforce -- coding is something that we all should know at least a little bit about, and NO student will be worse off for having learned it. If this is your logic, then why should we teach Music, Sports, or Art? (All important parts of our lives... but not something crucial to get along in life w/ unless your profession is in one of these fields, but if we didn't teach it, less people would go into it. )
