> Having base coding knowledge and experience will go a longer way for our children then teaching them a foreign language like French, Russian and other languages!

People who make false dichotomies like these threaten to undermine the entire push to make programming and computer science available in lower education.

Our children should be able to learn a foreign language; our children should be able to learn to code. One is not better than another; what's important is that children have the possibility to learn both.
