My main point here is that recycling a math teacher will not actually teach anything about CS, it will just add a "practical session" where you just write the same math concept with some boring language around it.

When I was a kid, for some people the advantage was that they actually got to turn on a computer and type on a keyboard for the first time in their life.

But nowdays, you don't really need to do that. Not in France at least.
