How dumb would you have to be to not realize a game cannot truly be a good teaching tool for reality?

Um, I can understand SimCity showing up in a classroom, provided the teacher explains (although I have a feeling the children will be smart enough to figure it out, anyway) that it's not an exact model of reality.

It could be a teaching tool to help a child understand that the money for police departments, pollution control, etc. has to come from somewhere; it's not free.

Billy: "Ctrl-X weaknesspays, got me through college"


Boss: "..."
