> In Grade 3, I was so excited to tackle cursive writing. Now students at that age are learning HTML and have been connected to the digital world 

Wow. What a hyper-ventilated article.

Having worked in IT, I find these article faintly amusing and a bit scary.  

Yes  it is good that kids these days have at least a basic understanding as to how computers work so that they don't think of them as some sort of magic boxes that can solve anything.

But Grade 3? Personally at that age, I'd want the school to concentrate on reading, writing and arithmetic because, strangely enough, those things come into play in the STEM fields too. 

Further, 'coding jobs' are being 'off-shored' to India. So if that's all you got, lotsa luck making a career of it. 

Finally, for a good part of my career, I found that 'being good with English' was an important asset in what I did in IT.

I sure hope the author doesn't have anything to do with what is taught in Grade 3.
