Starting in the programming world

Recently, I have learned the beginnings of programming. Right now, I don't know a lot but I want to improve my programming skills.
In the education system,teachers are teaching programming codes like python, but not all of them are teaching the structure and the basic mind we need to start with that codes. So,let's talk about this point of view.
When we were young, we learn how to use the PC but no how it works. Therfore when we start programming, we don't understand at first how to structure and operate with the code. I think that teachers should start with flowcharts and they will improve with this different way of thinking
Sorry if my English is wrong because it's my second language.

I am from Turkey and when i was student, my teachers said us just "Guys this is python and this is code(:p) You need to develop an app until Saturday" So i learned that someone can't teach you how to write code or algorithm literally. They just can only lead you. You should read more, you should work more, you should code more.. Only you build up yourself.

note: this is my thought.

Yeah, totaly agree. We should develope by ourselves and they will improve when we understand whats code about and the programming mind. Teachers should give us the tools and the first steps to start with any code but not impose us their ideas about programming because as you said, we have to develop ourself. Teachers should help us but not said us how he have to do everything. Code subjects are starting being for everyone and I think it's wrong because not everyone like programming although it's cool and you change your mind a little bit when you start programming

In my country the education system is not perfect too. The quality is not as good as other countries and programming classes are far from reality about codeing buissiness and work.But we want to improve in this aspect. We have to accepted the system but no how we can focused on. Spain is not a bad country in technology but others are better than us in that aspects.
