Hahahaha. No. Currently, approximately ten in ten schools offer math education, and there isn't a glut of mathematicians. On the contrary, the majority of adults now <i>hate</i> math.<p>If you want to have more skilled American programmers, the solution is probably more along the lines of lead paint remediation, childhood nutrition, and anti-poverty measures. Create an environment where children can succeed at playing around with computers, math, and logic, and you'll go much further. "Programming class" at a typical school is not this environment.
