Study: Game experiences can provide hands-on learning opportunities  Can playing "Madden" or "World of Warcraft" encourage your kid to be more engaged in public life? Believe it or not, yes. |

What's Madden supposed to teach a kid? How to sit on his a** instead of playing the real thing? How to waste money? How to play a sport?
They could have learned that sooner if they picked up the ball instead of the game.  |

 On Topic:
Ya we are.
High School doesn't have Social Studies classes, that's Middle School. And most games aren't online, so engaging in public life...?
No, it teaches kids to look up cheat codes to help maintain your city. Well... actually, that makes sense, the economy can't run without cheat codes  [img]Many%20of%20the%20of%20the%201,102%20teenagers%20polled%20said%20they’d%20encountered%20hostility,%20racism%20and%20sexism%20while%20playing%20online%20—%20stuff%20that%20can%20certainly%20happen%20offline%20too[/img] Going online is asking for the stuff... just like going into a bad area in south L.A.
Not really a majority of the time playing games is actually alone or online, and online is practically alone or with someone you want to shoot at. lol... _________________ 3DS FC: 5026-4428-6076 |

It teaches you the basics of capitalism! You pay for whores and weapons. You can even get your money back if you kill the whores. Then you make money performing deeds for other people. _________________ Place all complaints in the circular file. |

Super Mario Bros teaches you that eating shrooms makes you grow big and strong!
While eating flaming hot flowers gives you super powahs! Just like Lucky Candy! _________________ 3DS FC: 5026-4428-6076 |
