    "The TurnItIn research suggests that students really are trying to "do the right thing." Noting the decrease in the number of students turning to sites that are clearly identified as "cheating," the white paper asks if our new digital culture - one that promotes sharing, openness, and re-use - is running counter to some of the "fundamental tenets of education - the ability to develop, organize, and express original thoughts." The paper suggests that many students really aren't clear about what is legitimate re-use compared to plagiarism."

    Pros and Cons of counting coding as a foreign language.

    I am totally against this because it is NOT the same thing at all! It's called a programming language only because you can do the same operation using different "words" based on which "language" you are coding in. The thought process is NOT the same. You don't have to memorize (although some of it does stick), you don't converse in it, you don't learn about other cultures. It just is not at all the same skill set. What I DO believe, however, is that perhaps not ALL students need to have 3 years of a foreign language. (or math, or science, or humanities) There is so much out there to learn. I believe that those students who can see a clear path, should be encouraged to study those things that will help them to get there. So if some states allow substituting coding for foreign language, but not for any other subject, I think it's very wrong!

    You are getting a jump on our discussions for next year. My concern is - because there is so much to learn we keep adding to our program, but have not let much go. What is essential or what skills and content will our girls need for productive, ethical, and fulfilling futures?

    Beth, I agree that coding seems like it should fall more within the math/science realm, if it must be forced into an existing category. And I also agree with Helen that we do keep adding to our program (and our school day, compared to when I first started at Sem), but we have not let much go. It's time to evaluate what's essential in 21st century education and what our priorities are. Time to create more flexibility and more pathways to a diploma. (I believe I mentioned some alternatives to you and Jody a few years ago.) Looking forward to having discussions about this next year!
