It's not that kids don't "GET" it, it's that kids don't care to learn it. Unless American babies are born severely retarded, the ONLY reason we are unable to match a rigorous schooling schedule like all the countries currently ranked higher than us is because of lack of discipline and laziness.

It's not Apples job to save the Foxconn employee's -- it's Foxconns. I bet you most of the people who are so upset about the "poor treatment" of the Foxconn employee's are the same people who are against any sort of health care reform. Everything you just used to communicate that message...

If they can teach a gorilla to do sign language, they can teach AMD_Gamer to program.

:p

Read again. Specifically the "See what I did there?". VERY specifically the part where I said "That argument is stupid." referring to the one I had just made. and LDU decomp*

Clear is subjective. I've played with code that has done LU factorization and decomp, so yes, it may be clear for me. On the same token -- mathematics written down in your definition of logic is not going to be 'in clear terms' for some.

Glad we're in agreement, then. Also, never once did I say I want to remove the subjects; those statements were in direct response to people claiming it is useless to learn programming in school because people who want to be x will never use it. Funny how you want a bunch of competent readers...

Boolean logic? The logical operators? If-else statements? Putting together a loop? Thinking through a program before you write it? If I do this.. then this will happen.. What doesn't resemble logic?

--> So you've doubled back on your statement and are now claiming that computer science in no way has any relation to learning a programming language? To say programming does not incorporate logic is like saying painting doesn't require paint.

Someone missed all the Apple sales records articles.

In many ways you remind me of George W. "Screw it, just give them a grade and let them through!". You're such a purveyor of statistics and credible sources yourself! Though I fail to see any reason what-so-ever that I need to provide statistics and credible sources when I made no statements...

What a silly argument. Gym class doesn't help people become electrical engineers. Art class doesn't help people become lawyers. History class doesn't help people become mechanics. See what I did there? That argument is stupid. They already teach the basics. Throw in some programming. Those...
