Undercover Literacy

This was posted on my psmonline post (found in a previous blog of mine.) This is what the user freespace21 said: "we started a club. we played Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition. one of the new teachers last year had started it. we played after school every wednesday. it was extremely fun, the teacher actually played with us. he was really good, too. (headshots galore) unfortunately, there was a combination of two things that brought it to an end. the admin at school disliked it because it was violent. they just needed a reason to come down on us. their wish was granted when there were reports of people playing during school in one of the classes. they outlawed it and we were no longer allowed to play. it only takes one person to screw everybody else. there was an underground movement that started towards the end of the year though. several of us met in a different class room. somehow someone transfered the game to a drive that isn't checked out by the security program. with it there, we could play with each other. fragfests insued."

Students will play video games whether the administration allows it our not.

Alvermann too...culture-jamming notion--these kids are school-culture jamming. Thanks for sharing.
