It is a fad and can be supplemented outside of school.  Many teachers can barely understand the math they're supposed to teach, in Ontario the government is spending another $60 million a year to beef up remedial math for TEACHERS!  So probably not the best idea to have them try to explain coding.

Besides they don't have much time, after all they need to push wynne's favourite pedo Ben Levin's se x ed curriculum on little kids, and brainwash them to think they are squatters on 'native land' (ask your kids about the morning announcements.)

Coding can be a wonderful supplement provided the core STEM proficiency is identified, but given the poor quality of teachers in public schools, most parents will have to focus resources outside of the school on the basics as the kids are not getting it in school
