While I believe your overall post goal was to share how valuable schools and teachers are. That teachers play a critical role in the development of students skills...I just wanted to stand up for video gaming as a means to becoming a great problem solver. Games these days are quite different as compared to what I grew up. Today's kids are collaborating in teams online, securing resources, farming resources, achieving and unlocking new quest and storylines...and the vocabulary development is nothing to be left out... There is much a school and classroom can do, but video games aren't to be so easily dismissed...just my two cents. Keep up the great work!Dr. David Gentile, NJ Superintendenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814805833354192488noreply@blogger.com
