Comment on Personal computers: does everyone need to learn programming? (1984)parent

Comments

There might be a case for some very basic experience with programming in schools.

The high school (mid 2010s) I went to somewhat recently had ZERO programming classes and about 4 AP classes. Middle schools had basic typing classes. I am unaware if this is changing at a rapid pace but I would hope we could improve computer literacy by making kids take a few basics classes about things they use every day.
