Why don't schools teach programming?

Name: Anonymous 2013-04-10 13:21

When I was a bairn, I learned BBC BASIC.

Now schools teach email and PowerPoint. What the fuck.

Sometimes I'm tempted to sign up for these just to see what they actually do, but I'm worried that's how they make most of their money.

C/C++ is a powerful system programming language and an excellent general purpose programming language that most aspiring programmers aim to master.

Because programming promotes ultrafinitism, while Jews love their Infinite Sets.

I.e. it is like asking why USSR school don't teach Mein Kampf or Ayn Rand.

What are they going to teach you to do, write math in programming? What is the point of that
they should teach you software development methodologies

When you're doing programming that's more advanced than looping and user defined procedures, you start losing the interest of many people.

Well I had to learn Java at school and some basic algorithms like Quiksort and Binary Search.

The best classes I ever had were graphic design and programming.  Both were taught by nearly retired old fucks that gave students enough room to just do whatever.  Every other class seemed to suck the fun out of life, even gym class.

I did since I was 7 (T^T). I had to wait until 16 to take an USA elective. I disliked being a poor fag during my childhood. Trying to catch up.

They should teach programming, as electives. And curricula should be geared toward apprehension of concepts, with more electives than requirements. Real requirements should civilities and life management skills. It should also incorporate lots of lab time, even field trips. Tutors for the needy. Most of the ``teachers'' should just be counselors/managers. Finland is doing it correct.

apprehension of concepts
Is that education or scareducation?

apprehension the faculty or act of apprehending, especially intuitive understanding; perception on a direct and immediate level.

Enrich your vocabulary with /prog/

I know that meaning but it's stupidly ambiguous and you should use comprehension instead and reserve apprehension only when you're scared of learning or something like that...

When you mean ``apprehension'' you use ``apprehension''. It's not a synoym of ``comprehension.''

Last I heard, US Feds will punish –for treason– any school teacher that teaches any of the mechanics of how revolutions work. They have to stick with "and then there was a revolution, and the king was beheaded, and there was much chaos before a new leader was in place, lesson over" and shit like that.

Rather unsurprisingly, this was made law during the Cold War, in case of ZOMFG COMMIES IN AMERICA. Exit Cold War, and lawmakers conveniently …forgot to have it removed. Just in case of ZOMFG JIHADIS IN AMERICA or something. (Or worse, WeTheActualPeople taking the Third Option…)


The lack of actually useful lessons in pre-Uni schools, gets to be rather interesting once you find out stuff like that.

No. Before anyone falls for this oddly coherent troll, that does not even meet the definition of treason, as is defined in the US constitution. Don't be idiots.

Sentence sanity check failure, much?
Are you saying it's a crime to fail to meet the definition of a traitor?
