Opinion Editor For lots of students, school can be BORING, right? Some students would much rather be at home playing Call of Duty or FIFA 2015. Even during lunch, the staff doesn't let students play games. Well what if school work became fun? “Impossible,” one might scoff, “school can never be fun!” But...it can, and all we have to do is turn it into a video game (that works for most people). In the past, playing games on the computer wasn't allowed, even during lunch and break. Teachers, picture this: your students have been working all period, then suddenly you say that they can play "cool math games" for the rest of the period. It’s the same type of work, but the kids are actually willing to do it! “I think it’s great when students get to play games for school,” claimed Ian Campbell, a fellow student at Lakeridge Junior High School. If students got to play educational games in class and received credit for it, I think that they would be right on board. Teachers, don’t you want kids to have fun learning? Well I think video games are fun, and so do a lot of my friends. And for all those teachers out there, I can give you a ninety percent guarantee that your class will complain a lot less about work if they enjoy it. In conclusion, I think that Lakeridge Junior High School could use a little bit more fun involved with assignments and work. Because of that, we should allow students to play educational games during break and lunch, and we should also involve games in classes. Comments are closed.
