My Minecraft Debate

Intro

Whatever happened to playing with the ball and cup? Jacks? Or going outside and helping dad cut down the trees and mow the lawns? Well, my answer is what children of our age are doing in their rooms 24/7. No, not searching up silly things on the internet but playing games like minecraft, a game invented by Markus Persson. It started off as a small game bringing in barely any profit, however, over the years minecraft has become a game played worldwide by millions of people.  In Mokoia School, we have been experimenting with this new craze of a game.

Into the Curriculum?

I highly disagree with introducing this game to schools. First, it has no educational side to it what so ever, and second, children nowadays play it enough at home. Did you know that 50 percent of our New Zealand children don’t exercise every day? This is all due to kids playing silly computer games like minecraft. If we introduce this into our curriculum, the children not guilty of playing this abomination of a game will soon become addicted, making that percentage climb.

Fighting in school

Throughout Mokoia, the controversy rate has climbed at school due to silly students TNTing other people’s houses. This game makes students brains turn to mush, making them do even more silly things on this game.

Conclusion

This game should not be allowed into the New Zealand curriculum, as it just doesn’t do anything good for our hard working students. I believe it shouldn’t be in the curriculum, but that’s only one person in about a million.
