Get Arcola Intermediate School to Unblock the Google Games (Snake, Minesweepeer, ect.)
The Issue
Our school, Arcola Intermediate School, obviously doesn't want us playing games when we should be learning in class. They try and cut down on this by blocking "Unblocked Games" websites, but to be honest it's not effective. Everyone just goes to a different website and keeps playing, so they have pretty much given up hope and stop trying.
My point is, if you type in google certain names of games like "Snake" or "Minesweeper" normally you can play versions of these games, but the school blocks them, which is really annoying. At lunch, a large amount of kids play unblocked games, which probably annoys whoever is in charge of blocking things, but if everyone just played the Google Games, they wouldn't have to worry as much about unblocked games websites. Plus, Google Games don't require WI-FI so if people use it on the bus they aren't distracting the bus driver by screaming or blasting inappropriate music. Part of the issue also is that they block a lot of images from Google for no reason (and leave some much worse images unblocked), so even before it was blocked it was bugged out and weird, so they would have to unblock those also.
At the end of the day, it's just more enjoyable for the students, and it's really the teachers faults for not using "Lightspeed" if there are students playing cookie clicker when they should be doing their assignments.
