I've probably mentioned this before, but I felt I needed to clarify my thoughts on the question of teaching "computer science" in schools here in the UK.

It seems as though teens are becoming conditioned to be “on call” through texting with cell phones. Some youth say they feel social pressure to answer each other’s text messages regardless of the time of day, and that’s causing problems at home and at school.

I frequently see a problem when people (especially techies) try to teach programming to someone (especially non-techies). Many programming tutorials begin with basic programming principles: variables, loops, data types. This is both an obvious way to teach programming and almost certainly a wrong way to teach programming. It’s wrong because nobody wants to learn how to program.
