This computer coding learning program deserves a ZERO. I got from my local library a book entitled "HELP YOUR KIDS WITH COMPUTER CODING" which is based on Scratch 2. I then signed up for an account with Scratch on my computer. But the instructions the book gives are terrible. The illustrations are very inconsistent. In addition, there are problems with the software --- like not being able to delete mistakes, choosing a new sprite only to find that my code has disappeared and I have to start all over again, and being unable to save projects in the offline version. In addition, the Scratch website provides me NO WAY to give feedback to the moderators in asking for help. They have a so-called "discussion forum", but it's junk because of my inability to contact the moderators and ask new questions on that sorry crap that passes for their discussion forum. So from the time I started with Scratch on the afternoon of Saturday, April 6,2024, I lasted only through the afternoon of Sunday, April 7, before finding out that Scratch is no good for the kind of learning I had hoped for. Goodbye, Scratch. You're a major disappointment. You're not worth the headaches.
