fun fact: the kids are not as down with tech as you'd think primary schools (at least) are mostly tech illiterate & thus a kids proficiency with their devices/knowing how computers work is up to their family. educational contractors are in high demand & this'll continue to growhttps://twitter.com/Johnny_Uzan/status/1125753416003870720 …

In my country a software engineer can easily make 4x-6x more than a teacher with similar experience. There's very few people who understand code and are willing to go work at a public school. I love teaching to code, but I'm not going to sacrifice all my life for it.

To clarify: money is just one of many problems. Crazy bureaucracy, zero flexibility, and evaluation based on standardized test results affect happiness even more than low salary. I dream of starting an unschooling center one day where I could just teach without all this bs.

thats totally the problem. and this can be (and is being) worked around by orgs like the one i work for, where young people (most are in uni studying compsci) can teach coding as an extra-curricular thing :) its awesome!

I'm sure it's awesome! :-) But it's still a workaround a very broken public education system. I think about it a lot, esp that I want to have kids soon, and I feel like any schooling system I'm familiar with would do them more harm that good...https://madeincosmos.net/teaching-children-to-walk/ …
