I've been teaching the curriculum of @codeclub for 4 years now (see elsewhere in this thread) as an optional after school club in the U.K. It's massively over subscribed every term, this past term I've had 50% coverage of the total number of students offered in that year group. So, no one is forced and it appears popular, but I guess your point is still valid that parents could be pushing the children. Subjectively, it feels like they want to do it though.....

I like the idea of @codeclub.

"Would you like to go to @codeclub"

"Yes!"

"Ask HN: How should I teach code to kids?"

Getting kids an opportunity to become interested in @codeclub is a related, but separate question.
