Alfred asked:
Is There A Future For High School Computer Science?
And I am seeing that there is, but maybe NOT in AP Computer Science.
I finally got my counts, and I’ve achieved my major goal, once again, when I haven’t in several years. That goal is to teach CS full time. Next year, I get to teach 6 sections! No web, no math. I am very happy.
Here’s the deal. My regular CS count has tripled, which should make Alfred and Microsoft very happy since that is where I teach VB.
My PreAP count has halved, as has my AP CS A count. Though I’m not sure how accurate that APCS count is, as at least one student isn’t enrolled in it, who wants to me. My AP CS AB count is 2. Interesting.
I’m going to work on making the PreAP more motivating and see if that helps.
