Hah. Not a very convincing sample size there. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 16/03/2010 11:54:44 PM
I am wholly convinced that games as a medium aid learning and help children develop the skills and mindset of wanting to learn, but I'm really too lazy to argue that or back up my opinion at the moment, so take it with a grain of salt.

I am also wholly convinced that learning and academic achievement are not nearly as related as many people think.

I am also wholly convinced that yes, any kid that is allowed to utterly abandon themselves to any form of entertainment - or anything in general - will suffer academically. All things in moderation. Even academics.

And anyway, any null hypothesis can be rejected with a large enough sample size. Burr - 10/04/2010 03:49:41 AM 933 Views

why should you get rid of your consoles? LadyLorraine - 19/03/2010 03:07:38 AM 757 Views
The words "video game" can be replaced by anything with the same result. Mats Gambling Buddy - 19/03/2010 05:54:51 AM 873 Views

That's pretty stupid. Type of game is very important. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 23/03/2010 03:47:16 PM 933 Views
