I would agree with you. Coding is amazing, it's a hobby I do daily. But it should replace P.E from Grades K to 5, and make P.E an elective, since P.E is boring.

You joke, but that's the sort of thing society could achieve if more people were data literate. P.E. should probably be kept though...
Honestly, there's a huge logistical problem in that anyone who could teach a decent comp sci program here (US) can make far more money doing literally anything in industry. A lack of investment in education screws us over yet again.

I'd rather have everyone taught the basics of everything in a real-life-applicable way.
So ordinary English would have reading consent forms instead of poetry, computer science would have solving common and less common computer (and maybe also home entertainment) breakdowns, physics would have DIY-applied physics or vehicle handling, etc...
