I think he&#x27;s implying that teaching them how to code and not how to design programs will be the new &quot;vocational&quot; equivalent. Although this issue seems like it just generally applies to the education system as a whole, not specific at all to coding... unless I&#x27;m missing some key point.<p>Also, I think perhaps the issue is with allowing &quot;coding&quot; classes to qualify as math&#x2F;science credits may encourage some students to essentially come out of highschool with a working knowledge of how to write java &#x2F; javascript to accomplish certain tasks but have little analytical training (ie the scientific method, math beyond the basics, etc)
