and only 50 percent of Latino, African American, and Native American students in the United States complete high school
I feel like economics play a part into this. When you're struggling to eat it's hard to focus on education

I wonder how this compares to europe
taffed by poorly trained teachers,
I truly believe that a good teacher is the difference between failing and succeeding for a lot of students
All young people today need high-quality education more than ever before.
I feel like this is because of the fake news and pseudo science circling in the web
Many good videogames can take 50 to 100 hours to win
Some re-playable games like CSGO and League of Legends may be played for hundreds of hours
Since reading and thinking are socialachievements connected to social groups, we can all read and think in differ-ent ways when we read and think as members (or as if we are members) of dif-ferent groups.
I think it's good to share your opinion about a text with other people who read it. That's why the comment section is important in my opinion
For example, it turns out that botanistsand landscape architects classify and think about trees quite differently. Theirdifferent contexts, social practices, and purposes shape their thinking (andreading) in different ways. Neither way is “right” or “wrong”in general.
this reminds me of vectors in mathematics and physics. the meaning and purpose of vectors change

I think video remixing played a big role in the rise in the popularity of videogames on Youtube
In what ways, they ask, do young people’s in-teractions with video games influence how and what they learn about race and gender?
World of Warcraft introduced a new feature that included Asian and African features along with Caucasians as a customizable character option

World of Warcraft helped me a lot with my English and I saw myself surpassing my classmates in that subject very quickly
He argues that making digital games accessible to a wider audiencebenefits everyone by providing opportunities for play across communities.
I think more games are trying to implement features that help everyone to play. Overwatch for example has a color blind and left handed mode. It also doesn't require a powerful computer to run so people with low-end computers can play
Gaming Literacie
I think most kids nowadays are literate when it comes to gaming
While many credit game play with fostering new forms of social organizationand alternative ways of thinking and interacting
I think some games does this to more extent than others. Example mmorpgs may have a better and more complex social organization than first person shooters.
Yu-Gi-Oh,
me and my friends used to watch Yu-Gi-Oh and play the card game at school. We used to challenge ourselves to flip a Yu-Gi-Oh card, and whoever flips the other's cards faster, they got to keep the cards for themselves. The cards include one card from each person.
A game can easily be made fascinating enough to put over the dullest facts.
I gained a lot of knowledge from games that I wouldn't have otherwise.
marry new vocabulary encountered in the process of game playto actions
I learned a lot of different vocabulary from video games like fortify, rejuvenate, and arachnophobia.
complex, technical texts in the ser-vice of game play

“None of this would’ve happened if I didn’t just put it out there,” he says. “Just start something and share it with the world. Trust me: Nothing is too stupid.”
I like this quote a lot because it gives hope to young entrepreneurs to be brave and follow their vision. All Benedetto did was taking action and putting himself out there, and it clearly paid off

The Comedian is not just someone who tells jokes. He is the unfunny person who is convinced of his funniness
I don't like people like that. If a joke fails you shouldn't blame people for not getting it, and instead try to be funnier instead.

Concern trolls approach women with a sense of worry about something they are saying or doing, but it isn’t sincere
I sometimes give an opinion to someone while not being an expert on the subject. But if the motives for that is belittling the other person, I can tell why this would be annoying
