Yikes, it’s not that grim. One can always:
1. Learn to read more than one system. (Bilingualism is not a bad thing, even
for kids.)
2. Bring your own sheet music in your preferred system.
I do both. LilyPond and this whole digital media thing make #2 much easier.
But I agree that opt-in is the best way. So yes, teach children to read the
traditional system. Learning another one should be extra and by choice.
