I'm going to stand on a soap box for a moment. I'm a teacher who sees too many children who can't read. What they need is lots of practice. When they come to school and tell me they've gotten to a certain level on a video game (and tell me each step and character along the way...snore...), it burns me up as that takes up so much of their time, they don't practice reading.
O.K. I'm done. Because of my horrid dislike of video games and my belief that they aren't that healthy for kids (all my opinion), my poor children were never allowed an X-box, or whatever the newest craze was at the time. (We didn't even have TV for years...yes...call me weird). However, their father loves computers and would buy them educational computer games. I could handle "educational."
Getting to the point, I've cleaned out some of those computer game CD's today. My amazingly well-adjusted adult kids are beyond those now.
