Thomas Edison on Cutting Computer Science at PCHS

Now howdy there, young Einsteins! Heard there's a ruckus about replacing good ol' Miss Agatha's figgerin' class with somethin' called "hospitality." Now, folks gotta eat, that's a fact. But listen here, learnin' how to be a right proper waiter, that just keeps the wheels turnin'. It ain't bad, mind you, but it don't exactly light a fire under your britches, does it?

But this here computer science, that's a whole new ball game! It's like tinkering with one of my fancy light bulbs, only a hundred times more complex! You see, these contraptions we got whizzin' around, talkin' and showin' pictures – them's computers, and they work with a special kind of magic, the magic of numbers and codes!

Now, a waiter just flips a switch and brings ya a plate of grub. But a computer scientist, they're the engineers, the ones who build the darn switch and the whole dang machine! They learn how to talk to these computers, a whole new language filled with ones and zeroes, just like Morse code but way more powerful!

Think you could build a game with dragons that breathe fire hotter than a blast furnace? Or maybe a world on a screen where you can fly higher than a buzzard? With computer science, that's all possible! It's like inventin' a whole new kind of light bulb, one that shines a light on a world of possibilities!

So, don't you settle for just keepin' the gears greased, young buckaroos. Set your sights on somethin' bigger, somethin' that'll make your brain fizz with ideas! With computer science, you become the inventor, the one who builds the future, one line of code at a time! Now that's somethin' worth shoutin' about!
