The idea of teaching coding in every school in the U.S. is ludicrous without screening for the human material in those schools. I have taught in public schools in the U.S. in the past year, so know what I'm talking about.
Most public schools are now effectively alternative schools, with over-110 IQ students rare, dispersed, and beaten down for the most part. If a high school doesn't offer multiple science and math AP classes, you know it's not one where there is any point to teaching coding.
Go read Christopher Jackson's essay on what it's like to teach in inner-city schools, or the book "Bad Students Not Bad Schools" by Robert Weissberg if you have no idea just how bad it is there now.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
