Yep.  Trying to turn an addiction into a school PE requirement, nice! [/quote]

Can we just stop with the addiction thing? Not everything someone enjoys is an "addiction" just because you don't like it. People who have real addictions can become addicted to anything: gambling, shopping, drugs, alcohol, sex, cigarettes, sugar, porn, smartphones, snapchat, TikTok, food, exercise, hair pulling, eating dirt, shoplifting. Is everyone who gambles, shops, smokes pot, has a glass of wine, has a smart phone, exercises regularly, or has sex, etc. etc. etc. an addict? No. Same with gaming. It can be harmless, social, a hobby or a job.[/quote]

Whatever you say. No opportunity cost during screen time at home or school or all night. Nada. [/quote]

Did you ever watch TV? Do you know some "video games" are actually interactive books? Or that some are extremely complex logic puzzles? Have you ever tried to rebuild your home town in Minecraft? Do you even know anything about the broader industry?

Did you know that kids can translate "Commentarii de Bello Gallico" and then play video games to relax? Maybe recreate Gaul in Minecraft for fun?[/quote]

Super, go monetize that. [/quote]
