work in a school in the UK and our admin staff have already sent out bulletins for this week regarding absences for the two major game releases this week. MW3 and Skyrim; Admin staff will be contacting parents of pupils absent on those release days to ensure parental knowledge of adsence!
its shocking that game releases are now effecting youth to such an extent that this is the case!
i love my gaming, but to consider skipping a day of work just to play? nope wouldnt happen.
neither would it have during my education
This is what this generation is coming to. I would never in my wildest dream consider skipping school, even if I had flu, never mind a game release. Because it would be hard to catch up.
When I was in uni in another country, I would never skip a class. Even if I was bored, I would sit there and sit through the entire lecture, rather than fire up my laptop and play games during the lecture like what this current generation would do.
