Within a few years, every single student in the San Francisco Unified School District will be studying computer science, at all grade levels.
The city’s Board of Education unanimously approved the measure during its weekly meeting on Tuesday evening.
"Information technology is now the fastest growing job sector in San Francisco, but too few students currently have access to learn the Computer Science skills that are crucial for such careers," Board President Emily Murase said in a statement on Wednesday. "We are proud to be at the forefront of creating a curriculum that will build on the knowledge and skills students will need starting as early as preschool."
According to the district, computer science classes are relatively rare across the United States.
"Currently, no national, state, or local standards exist for Computer Science and the academic research in Computer Science education is quite limited," the board wrote. "As such, a cohesive progression of Computer Science knowledge and skills does not yet exist."
It's the year 2015. Why isn't CompSci a mandatory part of the curriculum everywhere in America? It was at my gymnasium (academic high school) in Germany, and that was 25 years ago.

You know how computers actually work? Don't ever tell anybody you know anything, because knowledge is for low-paid curry-eating losers. If you want to make real money, you have to be an ignorant executive who manages the curry-eating idiots who actually think knowledge is power. Knowledge isn't power. Power is power. Get back to work, knowledge workers! You're interchangeable and replaceable! Stupid little monkeys are always trying to climb the executive ladder where they don't belong.

I think it was his grandfather's take, who was an investor.
From low pay to high pay, there are people who work with tools, people who work with people and people who work with money.
Coders are at the high end of people who work with tools. No doubt at the low end of those who work with money are those who operate payday loan shops.

"How to exploit curry-eating losers and curry deficient losers for profit and fun while making the government (people) pay for it" - be successful now! ;)
They key seems to get power so that one can grab more power. Catch-22 is how to get started..
