Swedish School Makes Minecraft Lessons Compulsory
SchrodingerZ writes "The Viktor Rydberg school in Stockholm, Sweden, has announced that they have included Minecraft into the curriculum for their 13-year-old students. The program is not meant to teach children about math or language, but rather as a tool to inspire creativity in the classroom. 'They learn about city planning, environmental issues, getting things done, and even how to plan for the future,' Viktor Rydberg teacher Monica Ekman told English-language newspaper The Local. 'It's not any different from arts or woodcraft,' she added."

THAT's what they do with Legos!
I play Dwarf Fortres on Tuesdays. After we have pizza. We have pizza for dinner on Tuesdays. Then we play Dwarf Fortress. On Tuesdays.
When they're looking at buying their first house, they'll just buy an empty lot with a bunch of trees and then start punching them...
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
(But also sometimes on the third Thursday of the month, since that is Anything Can Happen Thursday in order to keep some variety.)
...the creeper blew up my homework!
