Remember when we used to go to music camp, art camp, or we took shop in high school? I don't think all of us necessarily became artists, musicians and mechanics, but it made us more aware of our surroundings, culture, and the way things work. I don't think the world would collapse if kids didn't take coding, but I completely disagree that coding is another silly fad. It pulls an number of disciplines together and kids see how those disciplines – and hey!– even people, work together.
