Coding should be part of middle school and high school curriculum. 

Without the support of schools, students are simply not receiving enough assistance to learn how to code. Tech companies are desperately looking to hire students with the ability to code, yet schools have not been able to produce enough of these students. According to Code.org, by the year 2020 there are expected to be 1 million more computing jobs than students, which could leave an untapped market of $500 billion.
