BrassWolf Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Today I was thinking about some of my students and how they will return to us in a few weeks from their summer break. Some of them will say "I played 11 hours of Fortnite" and they are elementary aged students. I am wondering, as an educator, what I can do about this. I feel that I want to collaborate with my counselor on this and maybe even our parent liasion. Just a curiosity on what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwshake Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think that's a great idea @BrassWolf. Talk to your counselor and go from there: parent liason, principle. Parents don't realize what significant game time could cause in adolescence and young adulthood. To take it even further... How would you feel about running an after-school program where the kids could try out different hobbies? Food for thought. Anyways, I think you're mind is a great place and I can't wait to hear about your meetings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassWolf Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 I like the idea of a club and haven't thought of that solution yet! Thanks for the empowerment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwshake Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Anytime, Kris. If you need help with anything that I could work on remotely, I'd be willing and interested in helping. In starting this game-free life, occupying your time is a big part of not relapsing, right? If I can occupy my time by making a friend and helping kids & parents dodge the pitfalls that my parents & I fell into? Even better. Send me a DM if you need anything.
