It is not simply that they concentrate on HTML instead of traditional languages, I've noticed that most people educators appear to be consumed with the syntax of the programming language. They have little interest in the logic of the program.

Teaching the syntax without teaching the logic behind the code leads people to see computer programs as magic.

I guess that most teachers prefer to be seen as a magician than as a person who thinks.

IMHO: The misplaced emphasis on the syntax of programming language leads to sloppy, bug ridden code. I fear for the direction that programming has taken.
