ARTICLE
Should Children Learn to Code?

Ten years ago few primary schools taught children to write code. Today many of them do, and parents often ask whether the subject is worth the class time.

Teachers who support it say the aim is not to produce programmers. Writing a simple program forces a child to break a large problem into small steps and to test each step in a systematic way, a habit that helps in every subject.

Critics reply that technology changes so fast that today's language will be useless by the time these students leave school. Both sides agree on one point, though: a class of thirty children and one broken computer teaches nobody anything.

全文中譯

十年前很少有國小教孩子寫程式。如今許多學校都教了,家長也常問這門課值不值得佔用上課時間。

支持的老師說,目的並不是要培養程式設計師。寫一支簡單的程式,會逼孩子把大問題拆成小步驟,並且有系統地測試每一個步驟,這種習慣在每一科都用得上。

批評者則回應,科技變化太快,等這些學生畢業時,今天學的語言早就沒用了。不過雙方在一點上有共識:三十個孩子配一台壞掉的電腦,誰也學不到東西。

Questions 29–32

ATo study without a teacher
BTo become professional programmers

30What is the critics' main worry?

DChildren write code too slowly

31What do both sides agree on?
