In my opinion schools should stick to basic teaching, a high percentage of french teenagers cant even write french at the end of highschool, yet the government want pupils to learn programming ? same old french bullshit.

Instead of letting schools adapt their teaching to local conditions and parameters , someone in an office in Paris is deciding for everybody.

That's at the heart of France problems. When the french government starts trusting its citizens things will change.Today there is too much power in a few hands and a total distrust of institutions.

I fail to see how the French kids' ability to write would be hurt by their being introduced to programming. Maybe you think the solution to their not being able to write is to sacrifice all other subjects to focus on writing. Though I doubt the writing is that bad, if it's the case I'd probably axe history before programming.

Maybe it's time to simplify the French language. After all, we get along just fine in English without l'imparfait du subjonctif.
