According to the organization\u2019s last\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/code.org\/about\/2018\">annual report<\/a>, Code.org spent more than US$91 million between 2013 and 2018. Of that amount, $6.9 million went to advocate for state legislation across the country.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the organization\u2019s mission to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/code.org\/files\/convince_your_school_or_state.pdf\">make computer science count<\/a>\u201d in K-12 education, code.org\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/code.org\/about\/2018\">takes credit<\/a>\u00a0for having influenced graduation policies in 42 states. Today,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/9policies\">47 states and the District of Columbia<\/a>\u00a0allow computer science classes to count in place of math classes like Algebra 2. Prior to the organization\u2019s work, only a few states allowed computer science to count for math credit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49711\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49711\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49711\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/statescomputersciencegraph.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/statescomputersciencegraph.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/statescomputersciencegraph-250x188.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-49711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The number of states that allow computer science to count in place of regular math has grown steadily. Author provided<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In addition,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/9policies\">29 states<\/a>\u00a0passed legislation allowing computer science to count in place of a science course. When computer science begins to count as math or science, it makes sense to ask if these changes are helping America\u2019s students or hurting them.<\/p>\n<h4>Is this a good idea?<\/h4>\n<p>As a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=IEzmeqYAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">computational physicist and education researcher<\/a>\u00a0who teaches college freshman introductory physics, I worry that allowing computer science to count as a required math or science course could make students substantially less prepared for college. I searched around for research on this topic and asked several colleagues but came up empty-handed. I also worry that a lack of math and science preparation in high school could artificially narrow the range of options for students who might otherwise have promising STEM careers.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, computer science is important to teach in high school. I lead an effort called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/u.osu.edu\/stemcoding\/people-2\/\">the STEMcoding Project<\/a>\u00a0where I have trained a few dozen high school math and science teachers to integrate coding into math and science, and I have worked with a few high school computer science teachers to integrate more science and math into their curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>I began working on the STEMcoding Project in 2016 after\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pastfoundation.org\/021-stemcoding-reimaging-stem-education-with-chris-orban-richelle-teeling-smith\">getting frustrated by<\/a>\u00a0how many undergrads and even graduate students came to my office wanting to be mentored on a computational physics research projects despite having no prior experience with programming.<\/p>\n<p>When I consider computer science in schools, I want to know: What kind of computer science, how rigorous is the content, and what ends up being removed to make room for it? Although there\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/achieve.lausd.net\/Page\/6764\">are<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bootstrapworld.org\/\">exceptions<\/a>, most high school computer science curricula that I have seen have been light on math and science.<\/p>\n<p>I worry that students may take computer science just to avoid the more difficult math and science courses they need for college. Computer science could be a way for students to circumvent graduation requirements while adults look the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Others are concerned, too. In response to these trends, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics called in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctm.org\/uploadedFiles\/Standards_and_Positions\/Position_Statements\/Computer%20science%20and%20math%20ed%20022416.pdf\">2016<\/a>\u00a0and as recently as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctm.org\/catalyzing\/\">2018<\/a>\u00a0for math classes to count as math only when they are \u201cdesigned explicitly to teach mathematics.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Career preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Computer science can be a practical class that helps prepare students for real middle-class jobs. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed similar ideas when he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flgov.com\/2019\/06\/24\/governor-ron-desantis-signs-cs-hb-7071\/\">signed a workforce education bill<\/a>\u00a0into law earlier this year that allows computer science to count as math or science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther than trying to keep my kids from falling down the stairs in the Governor\u2019s mansion I don\u2019t know how much I deal with physics daily,\u201d the governor said. But he said it\u2019s different when it comes to computer science. \u201cYou cannot live in our modern society without dealing with technology or computers in your daily life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>There are some solid numbers behind this sentiment. Despite\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2018-04-03-computer-science-degrees-and-technology-s-boom-and-bust-cycle\">a surge<\/a>\u00a0in the number of students taking computer science in college, there is still\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.burning-glass.com\/blog\/manufacturing-shift-software-jobs-now-outpace-production-openings\/\">far more demand<\/a>\u00a0for computer science and software engineering workers than there is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/computer-and-information-technology\/software-developers.htm\">supply<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps because of this demand the salaries for computer science jobs are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naceweb.org\/job-market\/compensation\/the-top-paid-majors-for-the-class-of-2018\/\">estimated to be<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamiltonproject.org\/charts\/career_earnings_by_college_major\/\">as much as 40% more<\/a>\u00a0than jobs in other fields.<\/p>\n<h4>Are important math skills lost?<\/h4>\n<p>Despite these arguments there are still good reasons to question computer science substitution policies like the one deSantis signed. Being a modern\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uglysbooks.com\/\">electrician<\/a>, for example, requires some understanding of algebra and trigonometry.<\/p>\n<p>Even for those who plan to study computer science, taking Algebra 2 and above is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/education\/os-ne-computer-science-students-florida-20190718-bzqpj4xekfbb7egd5eheck553e-story.html\">highly recommended<\/a>. Algebra 2 and other advanced math courses are also important for engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Some studies estimate that a remarkable\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/views\/2017\/05\/01\/why-virtually-all-faculty-members-should-be-concerned-about-problems-remedial-math\">40% of college freshmen in the U.S.<\/a>\u00a0require remedial math courses. That portion could go up if fewer students are taking a traditional math sequence in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Taking remedial math courses like Algebra 2 in college requires students to spend more time and money than they would if they just took and passed four years of math in high school. According to one study,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/views\/2017\/05\/01\/why-virtually-all-faculty-members-should-be-concerned-about-problems-remedial-math\">only about half<\/a>\u00a0of all students who take remedial math ever complete it. So skipping Algebra 2 in high school could end up stopping many students from graduating from college at all.<\/p>\n<h4>A matter of choice<\/h4>\n<p>Perhaps in weighing these concerns, of the 47 states that do allow computer science to count in place of math,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/9policies\">13 leave it to individual districts<\/a>\u00a0to decide whether to let students exercise that option. The list of 13 includes tech savvy states like New York and California.<\/p>\n<p>In a majority of U.S. states, students and families now have a serious choice to make. Students can take a nontraditional route and replace courses like Algebra 2 and physics with computer science, taking their chances that this won\u2019t come back to bite them later. Or they can stick with a more traditional curriculum, with its traditional advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n<p>As computer science substitution policies become more widely utilized, I plan to research whether or not these CS substitution policies help more than they hurt.<\/p>\n<p>We especially need to understand how this flexibility affects women and students from underrepresented groups. Computer science advocates have created a kind of national experiment. The next few years will show if this was a good idea, but only if we\u2019re looking at more than just the numbers of students taking computer science.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Chris Orban is an Assistant Professor of Physics at The Ohio State University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2013, a who\u2019s who of the tech world came together to launch a\u00a0new\u00a0nonprofit\u00a0called\u00a0Code.org.
