Is programming a separate class, or is it used as a tool in regular math and science classes? What resources are needed (computer terminals, etc., and how are they funded)? How many days out of a typical semester are devoted to programming, and does this activity displace something else in the regular classes? Is there evidence to support my assumption that use of programming accelerates the learning of math or science, such that there is no loss of learning regular subject matter?</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>I ask these questions because I expect to have to answer them when I propose introducing Python in high schools in my community.</span></div><div> </div><div><span
