This artcle had to do with the possible integration of video games with education. Its a good idea not only for the purpose of it having some educational value, but also it will help students do something other than reading, boring worksheets, and paperwork. I think, with moderation, that this should be added to the current school's cirriculum.

Stricter rules need to be set in place for schools to be more focused on learning. If we give people less leeway they will focus more on their schoolwork it will motivate people to concentrate on learning and their schoolwork. The way things are set up now, you can retake classes over and over, and the students are just not motivated. Students should get one chance to make it through high school, the standard four years, and if they fail out of their classes, its over, im sorry, go find a job. This may all seem very drastic, but the thing is that way too many tax dollars are spent on kids in school that have no intent of learning; in fact, they come to school to cause trouble and chaos. Instilling these harsh rules and will have many positive effects: it will weed out kids that come to school for other reasons besides education, thus, lowering misbehavior, it will also reduce class sizes, and improve the quality of schools. Stricter rules need to be set in place.
