                    If Programming Was a Subject in Elementary

    Have you ever wondered what would happen if programming was a subject in all elementary? I have, and I know it would be a wonderful idea to have it as a subject. Most people think programming as another word for “making games”, and that games are just a unhealthy distraction. Programming is much more than that. Students would also be learning when they learn programming. Programming would also create interest in students during schooltime.

    Programming connects to a variety of interests that students might have. Such as, interactive art like “Nintendogs”, games like “Pokemon”, and even internet-related programs like “Neopets”. Students may actually start looking forward to schooldays. If students look forward to school, they're most likely to be interested in going to college, also. Parents worry about their children, and wonder if their child is planing to go to college and get a good job. A student doing a great job makes their parent proud!

    If programming was a subject, it could be able to give students credits. Some types of programming is advanced, such as HTML (hyper text markup language) or JavaScript. If students can't really get the handle of stuff like HTML, there are other kinds of more simple programming languages, like Scratch. If students got credits from programming after programming became a subject, it might encourage more schools to have more fun, yet very awarding subjects!

    Programming has a hint of other subjects too. Programming has some of math in it, like when you do those numbers for colors in HTML and when you're adding scripts in a game. Programming has a hint of English, cause if they put spelling errors in the “scripts” the game they're making will not work. Programming may also increase creativity for new games, and increase memory skills from memorizing codes. Programming has a bit of art, cause if a student would like to make their own game they will most likely create they're own graphics. Students would get less stressed out at other subjects, due to even just the tiny things they learn in programming.

Any opinions? Constructive criticism? C:

Nice, I also wrote an essay about programming. It was a narrative about Scratch. 

I edited it a bit, but you forgot your conclusion 

pretty good essay, although I doubt this will happen.

in high schools, some have programming courses.

Oh yeah I forgot it was still wip    I was so proud how well it went so far I forgot I didn't finish it. You're good at spotting stuff out.

Well. I made my changes.
