This trend started waaaay before 2012.
When I graduated highschool the only computer class that was offered was a basic MS Office and advanced MS office.
The people making these type of decisions for public schools are rarely tech literate themselves, they physically cannot make an informed choice.
This will not be resolved until big tech is dissolved, or strong regulations are pushed by the voting population.
If anyone wants their children to be tech literate I recommend getting your kids in front of a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen as early as you would allow them to use a tablet. The tablet will be easier for both of you, and that’s exactly what they want.
