   @glent we don't have classes to learn how to post on the Internet or watch Tiktok videos. Kids just learn it.

   We could make software creation similarly simple if we put the time into it.

     @evan I'd also object to this for a second reason -- curriculum overload.

     There is currently too much crammed into schooling, and that pushes against time for teaching basic life skills. If you want to teach digital literacy then something else has to go. That should be an explicit choice, because implicit choices nearly always remove play and exploration, which are one of the most valuable schooling activities for both primary and secondary learning.
