Teaching logical thinking is a fine educational goal. I most
certainly see a need for schools to do so. Unfortunately, not all
students are motivated to take mathematical courses which promote such
skills. I wonder if they would be more inclined in a programming
course? Writing a program that works is a very positive experiences.
It should be a source of inter - motivation.
