...Playing games...at school? (Score 1)

It sounds like a darn good idea to me. Unfortunately, my particular high school has no such accomodations, let alone any support for the program. *insert random complaining, then a question* We're running hand-me down Celerons, according to the head of the computers department. No one bothers to upgrade them, or even fix them when they start making funny sounds. Yet, we're in the most expensive place to live in all of the Western US. Funding should be easy to get, yet we've got some of the worst computers... Furthermore, parents in our community believe games online are "evil", and the PTSA forced a web block of all games, period. >. None of our teachers really seem to care enough to stay after their required time (Only 3 of my six teachers participate in tutorial after school), and few people with the power to gain funding will, as all of our money goes towards sports, since they make the school look a lot better than an after-school gaming session. So, the question is...How can I, a student, fix this problem? It sounds like a wonderful idea, and I know plenty of people interested. The problem is finding support, whether through funding or just teachers and parents who care. And, as for your question about what games, try letting them play an online game like Ragnarok Online. There's no 'gore', unless yo uthink hitting a pink blob with a face is traumatizing. The worst thing about it the lag, and a few people who use poor judgement. Plus, it's free. ^^
