I think you're applying boolean logic where there is none. I wouldn't say that people should always totally be logical. That's stupid because logic ignores context which is very relevant in the real world. I would say that one of the skills it teaches is the ability to think more logically. I also actually don't think that's the best skill it teaches. I think it gives people a bunch of other skills, and that "logic" is kind of secondary to the others. |

Oh no, I didn't mean to imply that. What I meant is I believe it's a skill everyone should have, using it or not is a situation based thing.
I believe learning to program is a good vehicle to learn that skill in school.

I agree, it's definitively not the only thing it teaches. Same as Math not just being about learning to count, add, multiply... Yet you should know how to do those things.
