lists six things that he’d like to see computer science programs teach
Computer Science Teacher – Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson
I’m just a lowly high teacher teacher, so most of the 6 things I can’t teach — but I do work hard on the first. I also believe that communication skills are important, so I have my students doing lots of writing.
Besides, they have a test over it …
You don’t have to teach all of them. Especially not in high school. I think colleges should teach them though. But honestly I am sure you could teach most if not all of them if you had the time and resources to do so. But time is so limited in high schools. I also think that the total HS experience could do a better job of teaching some of those things (like team work and communication) than they do.
