You realise that the post was about high school, right? It's all very well getting on the high horse about degrees in CS, but that isn't the case in point.

- tolmasky 12y agoYeah saw after the fact that that was mentioned, my point stands for college degrees though (which I have indeed heard similar opinions on). In this case... I guess I just find the premise that a bunch of industry people are telling her what to teach some high schoolers a little hard to believe/overblown (but I guess I'm not from the UK so maybe its common there to do that?). But yeah, sure, teach them whatever you want in high school, I agree.
- zarify 12y agoI really wouldn't go so far as saying teach whatever you want (I teach CS in high school), but in Australia as well I get industry PD sessions where we get fed totally unrealistic expectations for the level most teenagers are operating at.
