Most Schools Don't Teach Computer Science

Failure to teach students even basic theory behind how computer technology works has several implications -- none of them positive. That’s the motivation behind a new push to boost computer learning in public schools.

Would it surprise you to know that most schools don’t teach computer science—not even the basics? It should, especially given that there will be about 1 million more U.S. jobs in the tech sector in the next decade than computer science graduates to fill them, according to Code.org, a nonprofit launched last year to promote computer science in schools.

They do not teach Science Period: For example...if you have a Full Cup of Glass and ADD Water...Will it overflow?

No, is the correct Answer, but the majority of Global Warming Nut-Bags think if all the Ice Melted in the North Pole we all drown...

5:14's lack of scientific understanding is frightening...he/she is making his/her argument perfectly.

North Pole Pack Ice + North Sea is not equal to Ice Cube + Glass of Water.

That's just ignorant.
