videos games, fewer books at school?

More videos games and fewer books? Whats that all about? I read the article and it mention how there doing this new thing on how schools are letting students play video games and read less books. Students from grade 6 through 12 are getting this program so students can get more interesting in reading and actually pay attention. Yeah that sounds like a good idea but a lot of parents and teachers should be aware about this. If they start doing this students wont be able to improve there literacy and learn how reading a book is. When you read a book you feel what the characters feel and what the author wrote means a lot."There's a lot of moral panic about addiction to games. There's a negative public perception, and we know we have to deal with that. But teachers have been using games for years and years," Salen said. Salen said that teachers have been using games for years and years. I dont belive that, Through the time i've been in school for 13years I have never played video games in school to learn something. I dont think its a good idea students just need to wake up and start paying attention. I think all these games are going to put them more behind and there generation wont be as smart as people are predcting in the future. Thats my opinion on this subject i really wouldnt care for video games and i wouldnt want my children learning like this.
