To code or not to code? Is that the question?

I’m wrestling with how much time and resources to use towards computer science education for my kids. Would that time be better served just teaching math concepts? I’ve been told by several people that programming is so rapidly changing that it’s a waste of time for kids to learn what’s out there now. Just something else for me to make a decision on-ugh..
But along those lines, I did order a few new magazine subscriptions to PCWorld, MACworld, and Wired amongst others. Figured it can only help my kids and me to learn more about new technology in this fashion.
