Interesting comment — I keep wondering what people who make this type of comment think we SHOULD teach in high school computer science and how we should teach it.
The Advanced Placement high school course in computer science may be part of the problem, according to Dr. Cuny. “The AP computer course is a disaster,” she said. “It teaches Java programming, which is very appealing to a lot of people, but not to others. It doesn’t teach what you can do with computers.”
