Students will be warned that some colleges and universities require Algebra II.

Advocates believe teaching computer science and coding will prepare students “to compete in a tech-based economy,” writes Versel. Critics say there’s no evidence K-12 computer classes “connect with workforce skills.”

Virginia is the first state to require computer science in high school. The state board of education made the decision in November.
