 USE CLASS TIME WISELY By: Adrian Ferry Recently within the class rooms at Alta high school, students have been reported to have not spending their work time on class related assignments, but rather play a real time strategy video game known to the rest of the world as Star Craft. Where and when this game arrived at Alta is still unclear, all that is known is that it is slowly taking over people’s lives. After talking t several students to find out their opinions of the game and its effect on Alta high schools student body, I am happy to report my findings. “Oh yeah that’s the game with the spider golems right? I really like them.” Said Erin in first period English. After several minutes of talking to her about why I was not in the right class I moved on to find several new sources. “Yeah that game is a lot more fun than a few teachers class lectures, and I am pretty good at it I think.” Said John Paulsen. It should also been known that teachers that find you playing the game will get epically mad at you. While many students believe the reason for this is simply that they suck horribly at the game and our jealous of the students that can play it well, I tried to find there opinion on the matter. Mr. Strohm had this to say, “I don’t allow kids to play that game in my class room. It is illegal to play that game on the school computers. When I catch students playing the game I take away from their memory on their school hard drive and they then run out of space to save homework on. I tried to get the game approved by the administration so I could through a LAN party and could donate the funds we make to a charity but the idea was shot down.” While its clear that the students and the teachers may never see eye to eye on this subject, I do believe that Star craft will be played at Alta high school for a long time to come.
