More video games, fewer books at schools?

This proposal to increase video game in school is a very good idea. Of course there won't be any violent game, just educational ones. This will get many students into learning and I know this will work from experience in 8th grade science. Our class had played the virtual game by Sasha Barab, in which we had to find to problem in the town. There were sicknesses, dirty water, dirty sewers, and other thing to solve. We would each have an avatar and we would be able to walk around town, talk to people, read records, and step by step we would find the reason for all the problems and fix it. In the end we all had learned a lot from the program and we had fun. Games like this will keep us entertained and wanting to learn.
