I for one would have liked the algorithmic nature of biology to at least have been
mentioned during my high school's two-year IB bio series. I've been reading up on computational biology lately and am mulling over the idea of pursuing research in it. I feel that if my high school biology teacher had spent some time focusing on the computational nature of the field, I would have sooner discovered my interest in CS and potentially made more headway by now.
However, I agree with bbgm. Many (if not most) people would prefer the way biology is currently taught. I'd argue that only a minority of hacker-minded kids would benefit from a computational approach.
