After a number of debate videos and research, my perspective has still stayed quite similar. I don’t believe that video games should be a compulsory subject because they could take away time spent on academics that should be prioritised. I do believe that video games would be beneficial to our learning, as one of the researchers stated that video games provide a basis for our learning. She said that video games spark curiosity and need for an explanation, which can then provide a better basis for understanding. I believe that video games can be used for other purposes outside of academics and school, but students should not be forced to take a subject that may distract students from more important aspects. Another researcher stated that online therapy was less beneficial that human interaction, which is what should be focused on at school.
