While I agree that students need as much exposure to computers as possible while in school, I think the term "computer science" scares me. Too often CS offers too limited of a scope of what a computer can and should do. Rather than focusing on it as a science (and focusing on the programming building, as most college CS programs do), they should use computers in every aspect from English/Journalism/Graphic design, to math (programming), to history (research practices, etc).
