I agree. I am a supporter of teaching programming in primary school as a logic/problem solving component of mathematics.
Thank you guys, @charleys & @proskynneo, for your suport! For sure also creativity, problem solving and math are two of the skills that are grown by programming. But these are not the only reasons. Here you can find top 8 reasons https://steemit.com/story/@djvidov/8-reasons-to-learn-programming.
@charleys and also children should learn at least one international language like English. :)
Well said. Logic and creativity is something that they will use to learn all the others after that.
Yep. Almost everything. :)
