The tech industry push to get coding into American classrooms
I think a lot of the times what is missing in this conversation is the need to first get teachers in the classroom that know how to code and want to teach it. Unfortunately a teachers salary is much, much lower than what someone who does know how to code can make elsewhere.<p>I understand that there are a lot of online tools that make learning&#x2F;teaching coding easier but I do believe the person teaching it still needs to have a decent understanding. Kids ask tons of questions on how to accomplish certain things and if the teacher doesn&#x27;t really know how to code, they won&#x27;t be able to help those students who will then lose interest.
