Hello everyone it’s Aric again
anyways I was just curious what would you do if you had a gaming class in your school, or an esports team at your school, would you like it? would you hate it?, my science teacher wanted to start an esports team with the high school but I guess no one agreed to that, anyways would you do it/join it?
I'd rather playing video games be a club rather than a class. You come to school to learn, not play. You can play once you're not busy. That's how the real world works. Schools should be teaching that instead of being baloney lol
.
A club is much better imo, as it doesn't require everyone to join. There's also a lot of people who all like different genres from one another. I'd rather not have people playing games they feel uncomfortable with or games they don't like, as it defeats the whole purpose of video games. There would have to be different video game genre clubs, and im pretty certain that the principal and staff would most likely not understand the reasoning of why there are 10 video game clubs lol. And if that were to be approved still, I'd much rather mess up on Beach Volleyball alone or with friends than mess up on Beach Volleyball with 100 eyes staring at me.
We haven't even started to talk about the cost of the stuff to begin with. If we want to
learn about video games, we need multiple video game consoles and multiple video games. multiple video game consoles for multiple children would cost so much, and if they get broken, that's another 100 dollars trying to fix the console. There's also the case of new games. Do you have a board game club at your school? My old one sure did, and they had to spend almost all of their funding for new board games. Video games are more expensive, which means the school may not even be able to buy new games. It's basically doomed from the start. That is unless yall use books lol, but i think that's different from what you imagined.
As for the esports team, that wouldn't really work as well. Sure it requires less funding, as they would probably just bring their own consoles, we still haven't discussed where they'll compete. Where? In local tourneys? I bet the school will split the winnings, and the moment they do that, the team is sure to quit and make their own esports team to keep the money to themselves. So unless there's a school vs school esports tournament, it's never gonna happen. But there's yet another roadblock to face. The electricity bill. Basically, many people playing video games on video game consoles at the same time at the same place is sure to cost a lot unless they're playing on mobile.
It wouldn't really work out unless they play at home. But that wouldn't be called a club now, would it?
You could also argue that what if it's just a play whatever club, but assuming clubs are after school (as they usually are) that would just be slacking off at school, and you're much better off going home.
