Default Apple to teach software coding to teachers

Those who can do, and those who can't teach those who can't do

In a what could possibly go wrong moment, software geniuses at the fruity cargo cult Apple, who have problems writing code which tells the time, are sharing their skills with US teachers.

In a statement from Apple's spaceship, the outft announced a new set of tools to help educators teach coding to students from grade school to college.When they say "coding" they mean Apple's programming language rather than anything useful. Apple CEO Tim Cook claimed that most students shunned programming before Apple introduced Swift "because coding languages were 'too geeky'. As Apple introduced Swift in 2016, Cook called for requiring all children to start coding in 4th grade (9-10 years old), which Cook reiterated to President Trump in a 2017 White House meeting.

To be fair, US teaching is a very uneven affair with a large percentage of them thinking that the bible is a good tool for teaching science and most students leaving school believing it is possible to catch viruses from 5G and vaccines are a bad thing. Why not teach them a code which can only be used in over priced toys?
