Agreed. I was taught Logo in the 4th grade and it was a great introduction into programming and computers, which ultimately led to a stronger foundation in the field.
I was taught Logo at the 4th grade and it seemed pointless to me cause you couldn't make games in it...I know now you probably could, but they only showed us how to make the turtle draw simple things, basically a recipe to draw a house etc (QBasic was the holy grail at the time, then Turbo Pascal).
I guess tho the main problem was that few primary school teachers in the early 90s actually had even basic programming competency. The only ones I knew who could do any programming beside the trivial textbook examples were other pupils.
I probably picked Logo up around that time too. I still dip into it from time to time. I just wish there was a good JS implementation that I could run in the browser - you never know when the urge to draw spirographs will hit.
