Video game survey for school work (Need Respondents)

And ur division video isnt official seeing as its played on a ps4 and I dont know how to do the video as I was at work and ddonot need to follow ur instructions this is a public forum not a school class room. No offence

i got my first pc at the age of four, in 1982, started writing games from the codes in books at age 5, started altering games at age 6, been working with computers all my life but i still had time outside. it is no different now than it was then, just different
hardware but they seem to lay about more. school is for learning in real life things, ie maths for budgeting etc, they should learn how to live life without tech first as if tech ever gets lost or goes down they wont have a clue. yes have an IT class but
all schooling should be done with pen and paper and proper education, learning skills on how to sew, woodwork and general diy. kids are leaving school these days without a clue and think everything is handed to them on a silver platter.

I also believe that schools should be a phone free zone, no outside tech.

Bring back caning also as most of the kids these days need disciplin, my kids dont step out of line and they get everthing they need.

I for sure agree that we need to bring back some of the most important skills into the classroom like home economics, handwriting, etc..so our kids are prepared for life as those are fundamental skills needed to survive, but that does aslo include the use
of technology unfortunately so those too are needed. The world around us has evolved and changed in the last couple decades, now more companies, stores, resources, etc... are all online and in a digital world. People do more online now than the physical world.
Companies have eliminated the use of paper to instead go digital. Times have changed for sure from what it was like really since growing up in the 80s or before that time. Now while I agree that should the tech go away and die due to whatever, we would be
totally lost and set back to the stone age for lack of better term, but sadly this is the reality we live in and hopefully some folks are living more of a hybrid life than all digital way of life for that very reason.

That all being said, yes growing up for us was different and some beginnings of tech existed..for myself I miss the 80s they I think were the best and honestly had some of the coolest stuff and yes even the hair I would love to have come back! Tech was
limited and highly expensivr especially since it was only really starting to develop into what it became today...but we did in fact go more outside and use our imaginations, because that's really all we had. The world wasn't saturated yet with technology,
some existed but not nearly what it is today..I think back when all we had in our home was an atari/nes, a Walkman, my dads stereo with turntable, and a TV that was about 300 pound and was dial style rabbit ears. Other than that there wasn't much tech we
could either afford or even was out there. Now walk in to many homes and its like walking into a Bestbuy...everything digital and has a screen..so naturally kids attention and level of wanting even step outside has gone down a bit and I absolutely consider
it somewhat laziness, on the parents to say get outside, but also the level of availability to tech now has become what kids want..like an addiction.

So while we can not change the world and go back to the 80s sadly as I would hope for the many things I lived about it, we need to accept it is as is and find a way to adjust our kids and gain their attention, thus the question of video games in school or
not . My opinion..yes..but in a specific way...not full-on gaming but creation of games that "appear" to be similar but in reality are educational..without the kids realizing it they are learning. And its also monitored so we can control what's taught..I really
think kids will glue to the screen and learn faster if we use what is now I consider their strengths in being able to use such things.

In regards to your last statement, yeah I grew up in a different way of life too and know the harder way of discipline and my parents sadly did too but I truly cannot ever condone or accept that its how we discipline our kids and I vowed to never ever do
that to my own and it has been 100 percent successful and I have model kids that succeed in school with As and behave, are respectful and also have proper manners,, and ive heard as such from many folks.. physicality while obviously causes change in ways people
act, but in the end its actually in a negative way..you may think they behave or are good because of it, but in the end deep inside they are not..anyone who says different is lying to themselves because anyone who had it happen feels deep inside hurt by it,
that's why therapists make so much money. Fear and pain does not make positive change it only creates more fear and pain. But I digress this is not what this discussion is for..so let's please leave it out of it going forward and keep things friendly and positive
conversation.

You can create a free outlook email account when signing up for an Xbox account, but domain emails and work or school emails usually don't work when trying to make an account. Outlook and Gmail is the easiest way and you will receive a code using those emails. Hopefully my response helps if it does kindly respond to my response or if needing more help you can always respond to my reply.

Average gamer age today is 35. This isn't the 80's where kids play video games after school. Most gamers I know today are in the military service or working professionals. We grew up playing video games and will always do so.
