Computer Science Education Week, which is the week of December 7 , is a wonderful platform to highlight the importance of computing to society and why we need to strengthen CS education--particularly at the K-12 level

Decisions about whether there is computer science in the classroom are largely state-based. The most recent example is the State of Kansas, which is moving to remove computing courses from the content students are required to take. This could undercut computer science education. ACM and the Computer Science Teachers Association recommend a different approach asking that the State include computer science in students' core requirements.
