Making a game requires, depending on the game, graphic design artists, a decent amount of money, some entrepreneurship, and a ton of other stuff
Websites are a whole other can of snakes
I have seen TONS of games made by single people pretty quickly on the internet. For example, I just got openGL and looked up some games made in it. They aren't the best, but they were made by one person and probably within a month. I agree that they require more than basic coding though.

well uhh I did coding in 7th grade and that's all I remember. I do remember loving it so much and advancing into the fields of javascript but then I stopped and I have no reason to start up again.
You never had a vision of making something cool with code? Maybe a website or video game?
We made a website in 7th grade.
"May the downtrodden one day rise up and take the place of those that would oppress them."
It was more to Diglett, less you. I agree in offering it as an option, but when it gets pushed forward like this it's only going to overflow the market with a skill that'll quickly become useless. It may not be over-saturated now, but that's where years of this come in.
I disagree. Like astro said, at least give the option, or start people off with a required one programming course. Do you realize how many programming jobs there are right now? I got offered an internship out of high school, and some of my friends got actual jobs in it:S. Out of HIGH SCHOOL. No college degree. When people are desperate enough to hire high school students, something needs to be done in the education system.
I said it should be an option. It just shouldn't be pushed like it is. Every kid wants to be a programmer.

Okay, making a good game
I mean yeah, pygame.org is full of ridiculously good games, but there's a reason one-man projects never really get famous.
Old sci-fi is the best sci-fi! v this is not old sci-fi Maxim 3: An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody. Maxim 24: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun.
"“Even by the twenty-second century, no way had yet been discovered of keeping elderly and conservative scientists from occupying crucial administrative positions. Indeed, it was doubted if the problem ever would be solved.” ^That, on the other hand, is old sci-fi.
I don't know anything off the top of the my head, but that's what I heard. Plus it's harder to make big programs because of it's lack of braces. It's annoying to have to indent everything right, especially in big programs.
Eh, that's more a stylistic thing. Python is inherently way easier to read, and it forces good style; unlike Java and C where as long as you have the right number of braces it vaguely works.
Also Java and C++ are statically typed languages along with making you compile stuff. Python is much faster to develop in.

Not a required programming course; that'll just erase any idea of fun from it. Push Hour of Code and make it extracurricular.

That's just lame. I learned a little French and Spanish in middle school, and did French 1 in High School. French 1 was a NIGHTMARE:P.
I had to do French for 3 years before I could drop it. I hated it. Now I do German
my school is mean and only offers french and spanish

I made a video game once
it was bad with bad graphics but you know, I was only 6.
Heh, that's better then what I was making in Scratch at seven Like, waaaay better

Only french and german.
