I'm glad I read the other comments before responding. I originally was going to say that I wouldn't want any of my challenges to magically disappear because my biggest challenges helped my learn and grow the most. BUT since I read the other comments I have a different reply. I would definitely like to see it be taught earlier in schools and approached in a way that CS50 from Harvard does it, very fun, very conversational, with a focus on the concepts and not the syntax. I'd also love it if there wasn't as high of a math requirement. Math is what prevented me from going to college for CS but here I am 13ish years later coding professionally and though I still suck at math, I'm doing pretty well at it.
