Don't let the title put you off on this one, but my idea is that in the future children should be taught through computer games!

Now I am not saying that it should involve everything, but I have been there through the school days, all it was, was boring old teachers talking about=

"If Grix had 6 gameaday wins, and SHEEPY had 4 how many would SHEEPY need to be equal?" - BORING!

Now here is the idea, children have computers to help them learn! Have computer games in school that do stuff like shoot five spaceships down! place the objects in their category by using a crane or something!

Now I know most of you are saying that they have these kinda programs out, BUT they do not use them in schools! I should know I was deprived as a young child at primary school, I was allowed to go on an apple mac computer once every three months!

So this idea will make the kids excited about going to school, cause they get to play computer games BUT at the same time they are learning in some way! I am telling you this would brighten up the kids days and could make them learn better!

I should become Education Minister SHEEPY! thanks for reading!

Primeminister dringo: Sheepy millions of adults are now paying to go back into school to get a better education well done and how is your henry the 8th game coming along

Sheepy: it is great an RPG where you marry 6 wives and have to get rid of them one way or another it's great

Primeminister dringo: and what about the World War stuff

Sheepy: well you live the life of a brit with realistic scenery of a battle field and you can relive the battle of the somme or the invasion of poland and you get too kill Nazis it'll be really popular.

Primeminister dringo: Well i'll have to check that they are sutible

And with that the primeminister becomes the educational games tester.

I remember the old games we played at school, back in the old days...it involved grid co-ordinates and boats and stuff basically you had to save the environment and stop the oil slick reaching the beach! More fun than normal lessons though!

However alot of the lessons couldnt be taught through Computers with state of the art graphics, History particularly would be 18 rated!
