Answer 4

It has been said that in order to achieve great things you must be obsessed with them. Think Einstein, Georges St-Pierre, Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla ... I think if your 10 years old kid is obsessed with coding, it's a great thing because he's gonna become good at it, and it will remain a very in demand skill for many years to come. Not to mention all the positive side effects as far as reasoning ++ goes. Here's some ressources. And I wouldn't worry a single second about confusing school stuff and programming, people ( espacially kids ) can process a lot of information. I would be much more worried about all that useless gaming. If your kid transitions his attention from playing video games to programming and perhaps making them ... then there's nothing to worry about, in my opinion.

Answer 5

If it came down to it, I would let my kid play with code all day instead of going to get his head filled with stuff that is 60% useless, 30% inaccurate or severely biased/incomplete, with 10% remaining that you can learn on your own with some mentoring. Unschooling makes sense to me. Following your passions instead of being forced into a mold. But I understand it's not always that simple. Elementary school is ok I guess ... Again my 0.02$ here...
