Ali Carr-Chellman: Gaming to re-engage boys in learning

Summary
According to “Gaming to re- engage boys in learning”, Ali Carr-Chellman reported that the problems among the boys and how to overcoming problems. There is a serious point that the boy and culture is not working well in the school, because boys like play video games and sports.
There are three reasons: zero tolerance, fewer male teachers and kindergarten is old second grade. First, they have zero tolerance. Boys like write about games, but the teacher want their write other topic such as a little moment, which they do not like it. Furthermore, the teacher thinks this is not good topic to write it. Second, only little male teachers in the school that cause most role modals are female in the school. Boys think their self are not smart and this place only for girls. The last reason that kindergarten is the old second grade. Lot of female teachers there that the boys received message do what teacher want their do: be a girl. Professor Ali gave three suggestions: design games, find more money for game design and look at teachers’ attitudes. She declared that we should let more teachers understand boys’ culture and except it. The purpose is tell students this place is for you and let them say there are smart confidently.

Response
I strongly agree with Professor Ali’s opinions about boys. Many boys naturally like play video games and sports. Their conversations all around sports and games everyday. I may not a professional video player but I am a crazy man interested in sports, especially basketball. I like talk about NBA. Hence, I tend to write about sports. I am not good at write or describe about my life or society. Sometimes I think I am a zero tolerance student in the school. I jealous of students who have a good report card than mine. In fact, I am a good student in sports and social interaction. Unfortunately, the teacher only care about our grade and how to improve ourselves. They want us do what they required such as homework. We all follow our teacher and do not do what they allowed. If we did not obey, we will lose during class. Maybe teachers like talk about sports and games but in school their job is teaching. The boys lack of confident to study or play. In my opinion, I think the school could have some class for learning games. During the leisure time, students cloud invite teachers play with them. This could improve relationship between students and teachers. The teacher will understand boys’ culture. Let them know we can play together. We could learn from each other. Moreover, the teacher can have more skills to teach students,
