Disappointed. I thought the article was going to focus on why a computer isn&#x27;t even necessary for a computer science degree.  In other words - how a computer science degree is mostly just a degree in mathematics, and a lot of the coding that you do (algorithm work, obviously not a software engineering or programming intensive course) should be done with pencil.<p>I have been seeing a lot of articles claiming that a barrier to CS curriculum in high school is that they don&#x27;t have the technological capabilities to support such curriculum.  Nonsense.  If I ran an AP computer science class we would never touch a computer.  Pencil and paper only.
