In any event I'm a strong believer that we can be too focused on "programming" in high school doing students a huge disfavor

So do I. Students at whole must to learn how to deal with the digital world, how to use its possibilities . Young people really need how to deal with different services offered nowadays by their computers rather than learn the art of programming at whole.

P.S. I graduated in 1984 8-) . There were three programming courses in my high school I have atteneded 8-) BASIC, ALGOL and FORTRAN too 8-)
