I'm normally very annoyed by pedantry, but in this case we face a very real risk that the pedantic difference will cause a huge difference in outcomes for a huge number of children. If it turns out that a large number of national governments simultaneously embark on a huge effort to teach kids "coding" without much if any understanding of how to teach them "modeling", then we are setting ourselves up for a generation of failure and frustration with regards to computing. (Think "computer literacy" classes that actually teach typing and maybe a little MS-Office.) Maybe few extra kids will be nudged towards learning computation on their own. But, the overall movement will miss its mark in a tremendously disappointing way compared to it's potential for improving how people learn and work in the near future.
