Abstract
Integrating computer science into the K-12 curriculum is not news, so why put it into the SIGCSE Bulletin? Since the big educational movements in the 1970s and 80s that promoted BASIC and Logo, computing educators have attempted to get the kind of integration into pre-college that other disciplines, like Biology and Chemistry, have. This has been a struggle, and in recent years computing, and programming in particular, are marginalized in K-12 for a variety of reasons including teacher preparedness, politics and what Peter Denning described as the "eating the seed corn problem." While grassroots and academic efforts such as CS Unplugged, CS4HS, the Alice and Scratch communities and the Principles of Computing AP movement are becoming "old news", the news of the day is that politicians are coming on board.
