The scattered letters in coding || Children Education
I'm among those who are very much against the school curriculum we have in our school system today because most of the subjects taught are just there to fulfill all righteousness and are never helpful to people whose ambitions are the opposite of the subject. A typical example of such a subject is French (for those of us who have English as an official language). I can't stop lamenting how badly we were treated by the teacher in a bid to force us to learn French. I suffered!

* * *

_So, will I be in support of coding or programming being introduced into the school system and made compulsory for students to learn from primary or high school?_

You should know my answer already. I'm not in support! Why?

Let me not go far by using the French subject example. Haven't you seen where someone (a lady preferably) is crying because they're forcing Further Mathematics into her brain and it's not entering?🤣

I passed through the engineering sector in school and, as you know, mathematics is a compulsory thing in that field. We were opportune to teach a lot of people from the business school mathematics and hey, you need to see how troublesome it was for them to capture anything. Their brains are not built for deep mathematical calculations and that's why they chose to do business studies instead of science ones.

This same thing is what I see in forcing people to learn coding. I'm not into coding but I know how difficult it is because I once owned an 'investment' website and I was with the site developer when every bit of the site was done. At a time, I wanted to learn because I needed the skill and knowledge, but the 'scattered letters' almost scattered my brain. That thing is difficult!![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdCwkSPUcCPMbsN27i5dYvYyEKWnM1NfjsbD9puMhvzJR/1001802622.jpg)

Imagine forcing a child that's not willing to go into coding to learn it. That child might run mad in the process. It sounds funny, right? It's not funny at all because I always look at myself and the tough, unrelated subjects I was forced to learn and how I crammed to pass those courses.

I'm not saying everything is going to be taught at once. Even at that, I'm not in support of forcing students in primary and secondary school to learn coding.

I know the modern age we are currently in requires that everyone have a good knowledge of technology, but this doesn't mean that everyone should focus on coding or programming alone. There are many other sectors of technology that children can be channeled to learn, especially the basic ideas of computer use. Then when they're grown, they can navigate to the exact field in technology that they want.

It's understandable if students are forced or are made to compulsorily learn the basics of the computer system, but digging deep and stationing them to focus on only one area is not nice.

I drop my keyboard.

Thanks for reading.

I can understand your concerns being that I passed through school myself and I am also in the field currently.

A lot of topics in the syllabus is unnecessary but if they are simply introduced, I see no problem with it.

Let the children be introduced to coding but let it not be forced

Introduction only can't work in Nigeria, they'll forcefully open the students heads to pour in all the syllabus 😅
