Perhaps one way of convincing them is that there are tons of jobs in games.
The university where I teach just opened a game design program.

I agree with your perspective Douglas but my Administration doesn't.  Games
means fun not learning to them.  This perspective is due to ignorance and
tunnel vision.

Will you guys please trim your emails! It is really hard to find the next
comment when the email is 10 pages long. Thanks.

I think any teacher that avoids playing is really missing the whole point of
play. It is natures tool to help youngsters learn. It is fun and the fastest
way to learn. Computer games can abuse this but in a school with a good
teacher there is nothing better! What better way to teach a teenager than to
ask him to animate or program is favorite game character or game and then
teach him how?

I'm working on a Blender course for my high school, and a few years back I
helped students get started with Blender and they developed a simple game.
They were able to cover all the areas of graphics & art through to
programming & game design. One of these students is now trying to put
together stuff on Waddell 3D (http://www.waddell3d.com/).
