Sudden warming hot --NOI programming will not become the next Olympiad
In fact, for this problem, I would be considered. OI months on my experience to a cursory talk about their own views.
OI, with the four other disciplines, it is a contest, a shortcut entrance to drop points. But in fact learn from OI more interested learners. For the part of the students, it also has OI prejudices (for example: after school repair OI is what computers). So we will have the following three questions.
But with the increase in the number of winners OI, OI for domestic attention increasingly heavy, high school immediately to follow the major highlight of learning in terms of school OI, OI programmed to carry out the study. Even in the community is gradually rising platform a certain school, a certain Albert and other learning program to improve the level of high school students. This is where the pros and cons.
Advantage of that nature a lot, but I think the most important thing is for each person to increase the social importance of the OI discipline (or industry), and in today's society with diversified information and rapidly developing, programming seems to have become an indispensable a skill. Under this program, at least in the heat of the trend of the information industry can be more rapid development. Of course, in the process of learning herd of people, some inevitable factors also appear (not list them here).
Now, this light Jinan city, there have been at least 46 educational institutions have on programming disciplines (of course, OI influence in Jinan might as Mathematical Olympiad, other capital cities can imagine), unimaginable in the future OI few years the pace of development will be like. (Certainly very promising)
Perhaps, in the future course of development, perhaps OI will become not so simple, and perhaps will be like today Mathematical Olympiad is generally popular in the whole of China's high school, but in essence, OI discipline and Mathematical Olympiad very different . Because the program will become an essential human skill (perhaps to do title, perhaps software development), it will bring good news for the whole society.
Personal humble opinion, if different, please understand.
