This looks really good on paper, but I'm wary of a government mandate to teach something that full time practitioners rarely master.

"to address the growing crisis in K-12 computer science education"<p>As someone who never saw a computer in any of his K-12 days (long ago), I wonder how one measures the growth of the crisis. I suspect that if the schools could address writing and mathematical competence the students could more easily master computing either on their own time or in college.
