Should Computer Science be part of the K-12 core curriculum?

In our opinion, Computer Science Should be part of the curriculum. And thankfully, more and more schools think the same and are adopting it. 

Why? Computer technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. In the current day and age, in Tech savvy affluent families in US and other Western countries, a child learns to  use an iPad or tablet even before they can walk. 

However, using a Tablet only teaches you how it behaves and how it can be used as a tablet. We believe It’s important for kids to learn the inside of such tools - how these tools really work. If added to the core curriculum at a young age, not only will it enhance logical thinking, but will also raise kids with the knowledge of the “how” and “why” behind what they are using.
