Imagine public schools buying minecraft licenses just so kids can observe that "when you use the furnace too much, the world becomes more like hell."
I think kids play minecraft too much already. I would much prefer it if we gave students shovels and let them dig up an empty plot of land in _real life_.
- scarejunba 8y agoHey, that's a good idea. You give the students actual wood stoves, and they'll cause global warming, and then they'll die when they're adults. That'll help illustrate the concept in a way that a simulated world can't.

- ben_w 8y agoTheir lifespans would probably be shorter because breathing in that much smoke causes cancer at significantly high rates.

- DonHopkins 8y agoDiamond stoves lock up even more carbon, and are much harder to break! (Minecraft joke! ;)
- chapium 8y agoNow theres an interesting idea for a park, minecraft in real life!
- dev_dull 8y agoYou’re being downvoted but your idea has merit. Getting our kids outside in the world will be much better for their understanding it than sitting behind a screen in an air conditioned room playing a video game.
- mb_72 8y agoSchools can both allow some educational gaming and real-world digging, it doesn't have to be one or the other.
