... and its a good thing. Seriously.
"Coding" is a skill that can be learned later, after (this is some of the things that my kids are learning):
1. math (algebra and better)
2. reading comprehension
3. writing both persuasively and clearly
4. science ( physical sciences )
5. leadership courses
6. foreign language
7. basic computer as a tool ( how to google, type, create presentations)
The fundamental problems with this demand for kids to learn how to code right now:
1. What are they not going to learn (it is a zero-sum game)
2. Technology is expensive to maintain
Sure offer it in high school. But K-5, my kids and the other kids in their class are not that interested in computers (except to play on).
There are other skills that are way, way more important at that age.
