Truth table is one of the first things you learn in computer science classes. it gives you a very strong decision making skills. it's easy and it's on wikipedia take a look at it.

The people who say "computer science isn't for everyone" is missing the point. It is not about whether you like the subject or not. In his whole talk, he is saying computer science is as *necessary* as math/biology/physics etc. We do not learn these subjects because it is fun in school. We learn them because it helps us to operate and appreciate the world better. Just like how math helps us to understand the purchases we make, the loans we take and the value of the item we pay for, a basic understanding of computer science helps us understand how the internet works, how gadgets communicate, how these technologies can impact our lives. Do not wait for the next Cambridge Analytica saga and pretend to be interested in technology.

What I love about computer programming in particular, is that unlike any other subject taught in schools, this one forces students to use the creative and logical parts of their brains for once. What every country needs for success is smart people that can come up with solutions, so I believe computer programming is something that should be taught from early on in order to train young minds. Of course it's not for everyone, I know people who won't understand it no matter how they explain it to them, but then again mindless memorizing is not for everyone either.

Agriculture is the future since year 0

I'm in a media program in University and after a mandatory web design course I have been getting more and more into front end development. It is the first thing that I have been really excited about learning.

Would this become like the field of mathematics that so many students become afraid of and hate because of uncaring lazy teachers and lack of family support? Students who would have loved computer science become terribly afraid of it because their school system is not qualified to teach it. If this movement to bring computer science to every student does not carefully consider the mediocre teachers who will teach it, then we will create yet another frustrating class that students have anxiety over as they do with mathematics. Please be careful with this movement and only let qualified passionate educators introduce this important topic of computer science to students. Better that students are introduced to it later when they are able to take responsibility for their own education than introduce a field that is not carefully taught, making students fearful, stressed, and disappointed with themselves for not "getting it". What if students who would have loved computer science had such a poor introduction to it, so stressful because of a failing school system, what if they are being hurt instead by this demand of taking and passing a computer science class in high school? In high school, I believe that we should make computer science classes a pass/fail instead of attaching a grade to them because students will value the "A" more than the actual learning and trial-error process of creating programs.The creator for code.org came from a privileged family and is living the American dream, so he doesn't understand the full implications of what would happen if the teaching of computer science is not carefully introduced and delivered.

There's an element to programming that requires intense interest. That interest has to be fostered. Most people, as of right now, just don't "get it." Perhaps, in the future, that will change.

Right now, I am taking AP Computer Science with a lazy teacher who learned to program in the AP Java Subset just last summer (He had some experience with 4tran many years before becoming a teacher). The class is just so disorganized and I am starting to dislike it even more than my math class. I started the class with so much enthusiasm and excitement, but 3/4 into the year I have almost lost all interest. I am one of the few students in my class who is actually taking the AP test and I am trying so hard to learn this on my own. It's so discouraging too. I was thinking about actually going into the field of computer science, but now I'm really just not sure any more. I am just hoping that maybe computer science in college is better than the hell of a class that i've been through.

***** I'm saying they don't get it because it's new and confusing and there is no ingrained teaching methodology. Though, there is a similarity to hair-dressing, skateboarding, et cetera in that those skills are learned primarily through one's own drive to learn them, because they're not taught in schools (usually). And yeah, I'd say that most people find computers interesting. But the kind of interest required to become fluent in programming isn't one that everyone shares. Some people do simply have such interests, but they have them because they were given the opportunity to foster such interest for themselves.

I️ only took that class because I️ needed a credit to take the place of a math class that was full. Now I’m in the middle of getting a degree in computer science and I love it. Sometimes when I️ think back, though, it scares me; I️ almost didn’t even know what computer science was.

Have you tried codeacademy or udemy, they have very simple lessons? And many more free websites can give you information, if you are a starter or don't have much money. And outside of that, also try to learn or repeat math. It will help you with improving logical thinking and problem solving. Don't lose hope, if you want to learn it you will. Only because it's hard doesn't mean it can't be interesting :)

I like the idea and also the are of study but all have to realize computer science isn’t for everyone. Of course when it’s simple and for fun anything is easy to do and follow but when programming an App becomes hard and you need to deal with bugs or the code is not compiling, maybe you have to use more mathematical logic which some people prefer to avoid. All that is hard stuff, for example for years our school systems has been preaching the idea of going to college to have better opportunities well we all know college isn’t for everyone. Of course I would love my kids to study computer science but if it isn’t for them then I can’t force it on them. Computer science knowledge is like anything, either you use it or loose it. My opinion of course
