A few years ago I was doing some tutoring at a school and a student mentioned "Computer Science" class. I was impressed that fifth graders at this school with generally low performing students had access to Computer Science classes at that age.

Then I discovered they were learning how to use Word. The students really thought they were taking a "Computer Science" course. I would have liked to meet the teacher - I suspect they wouldn't know how to write a binary search in the language of their choice to save their life, let alone discuss if a problem was NP Complete.

This sort of thing used to be called "Computer Literacy", which was a much better name. The equivalent of (and I suppose including) what was called "typing class" in the 80s.
