  • Considering I learned how to type from playing RuneScape, not from the 4 separate typing classes they put us through, I don’t really think most students would learn tech literacy from public education if they teach I or not. Look at the people complaining that no one taught them how to do their taxes dispute the mathematics required do your taxes being taught to 100% of the US population before they enter high school. It’s not the education system, kids don’t care. The only fix is to kake the kids care, but if you just push them through regardless of their qualifications for the next classes, no one cares if they fail. People would benefit a lot from learning how video games retain players because it’s exactly the same philosophy behind policies like no child left behind. They give out rewards to everyone regualrdless of performance or difficulty of content and people become complacent and comfortable. Unless you give incentive for progression, in this case probably the pressure of not going to the next grade with your peers, everyone will find a spot to spin their tires and do so until they run out of gas or the tire explodes. Meritocracies might not be perfect, but they’re core to a proper education system.















  • It just makes the underground more tedious since you have to dig around anyways. If you could get around without having to dig and build constantly, and just play it kind of like a dungeon crawler, it might have opened an alternative way to find resources. but it’s just more walking around an unlit cave, half filled with water, fighting for uiur life to get what looks like diamond from a distqnce but turns out to be somtbing else once you get there. If there was another level below all the holes that was just blocks and ore, that might let both things exist at the same time.
