54% Say Video Gaming Should Be Taught in Schools

There are kids who snuck in a little video gaming when they were supposed to be doing remote school during the pandemic . . . but maybe they were just ahead of the curve.

 In a new survey, 54% of people said they think video gaming should be taught in school. And 60% of them think games should be part of the core-curriculum, from elementary school up into college.

  Obviously, "gaming" is very broad. Some say it should be considered an extracurricular activity at school, like sports. There are social aspects, plus a few people can make a living as a professional gamer . . . like any other sport.

 But there's also an educational aspect. 64% of gamers say they've learned fundamental skills from gaming, including critical thinking . . . creativity . . . hand-eye coordination . . . and communication skills.

 And there are more careers than just being a pro gamer. Gaming-related college majors could include: Content creation and streaming communications . . . graphic design and technical arts . . . business management . . . game development . . . computer programming . . . and software engineering.
