Your logic is insulting.   For starters, kids join code schools because they want to code, not because they want to look cute in pictures.  No one knows what sort of career their child is going to have, but if I were to make a list of unlikely careers it would be something like: ballet, violin, piano, swimming, baseball....     What you should really be reporting on is the fascinating correlation between learning to code and a sudden interest in complex mathematics.  Have you ever seen a child beg you to teach them calculus?  I have.  On a daily basis.   I can be reached via Hackingtons.com.
