How a farmer would benefit from learning how to code?
How an actor/actress would benefit from learning how to code?
Barman/barmaid, TV host, politicians, journalists, archeologists, ...
I can think of many more professions were coding would bring nothing.
Yes, every one learns basic math, reading and writing. Did you learn how to draw? Did you learn how cultivate land? Did you learn how to build a house? Surely to someone out there, this would be basic skills that "every one should learn".
Farmers have to load cracked Ukrainian firmware on their tractors these days so that should be obvious.
I was taught how to draw, basic gardening and the concepts of agriculture, and construction through various educational programs. It was all public and paid mostly by taxes. This was in a middling suburb of America, and I think if we have a holistic education for our children like I received then coding should be there - it would have served better than the mindless "computer concepts" and typing courses I endured as a child.
That said, a plurality of students in my high school learned some code through their mathematics education. It's already there.
And regardless, code is just a shared language for problem solving. Everyone should learn that, and I think it's better than rote memorization of formula in math class that is paraded as critical thinking.
