Tech's push to teach coding isn't about kids' success – it's about cutting wages

This month, millions of children returned to school. This year, an unprecedented number of them will learn to code. Computer science courses for children have proliferated rapidly in the past few years. A 2016 Gallup report found that 40% of American schools now offer coding classes – up from only 25% a few years ago. New York, with the largest public school system in the country, has pledged to offer computer science to all 1.1 million students by 2025.
