A better place?

Maybe for the nintendo, and those kids, but if i was a tax payer in Japan I would quite pissed.

We have it worse here in the US. We pay the taxes for all the day laborers that stand around at 7-11.

If I were one of those kids, I'd be playing games on my DS the moment I had the chance.

Associating Nintendo with schoolwork is just plain evil anyway.

Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?
Person 2: No.
Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?

I don't see any difference between this and giving students laptops--they're giving them educational software, after all.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I've been waiting for a while now for the hardcover textbook to die. This has got to be a step in the right direction.
