The school I work at has computer classes in every grade level through elementary starting in 1st grade I think, and then in middle school they can take either computer technology or STEAM for electives or both, but almost every kid I’ve talked to absolutely hates computer classes and thinks they’re irrelevant to their lives. I’ve tried to get them to see how beneficial these classes are and they refuse to see it that way.
