The Issue

Minecraft Education is being blocked on school chromebooks and I think that's pointless. First of all, students need a break from schoolwork on their chromebooks? If students are done with everything, then what will they do if the admins ban fun?

Also, even my teacher says that this is a bad idea. I was told that 6th (rising to 7th) graders (i'm in 7th, rising to 8th) are falling behind and the parents are freaking out and blaming it on games. However, the problem is not games. The 6th graders are just not paying attention and that's why they're falling behind. So the minecraft ban is pointless and fails to solve the problem.

I also think that decisions to block these things should not just be made by administrative elites at the top, but by also the teachers. The problem also has to be further investigated by the teachers because the admins don't exactly know what happens in the classroom, and when they come, all the students behave well, so it's not an accurate representation of the classroom.

Also, some teachers use Minecraft Education for projects, so blocking it makes the projects less fun. Also, it's Minecraft EDUCATION. It was made to make students learn and to be used in schools. Blocking it is counterintuitive and unnecessary.

Admins, if you see this and try to get me in trouble, take a thorough look at this: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-1/
