      ab: The article discusses the popularity, or the lack thereof, of computer science in U.S. public schools. In March 2008, the College Board canceled certain computer science Advanced Placement (AP) exams. Topics of discussion include the marginal role computer science plays in the minds of parents and in education budgets, curricular confusion at the college level, and aligning computer programming with mathematics.
