For years, parents heard the same message: teach your child to code, or they'll be left behind. Coding bootcamps for kids became a booming industry, built on the promise that every child needed to become a programmer to succeed in the digital age. But according to education experts, that advice was always incomplete - and in many cases, misleading.
