Right, and I'm not doubting the value of creative pursuits like Roblox. I made and distributed calculator games during math class. What I'm doubting is that they can function as a useful alternative to school for most kids. (This is what you're suggesting, right?) I can see it as supplementing school for some, but not as a replacement.

I'm not suggesting it should replace schools. I am responding to what the article tries to imply.

I don't know or have thought enough about what the perfect way to educate kids would be.

I just don't appreciate an article jumping on a company that to me seems to reward creativity, because of some odd understanding of moral truths like Corp = Evil and Children receiving money = Evil.

Which in many cases IT really could be like child factory workers in cases where they are forced to do that due to economical circumstances, having no other options.

But I don't know about the company enough. Maybe they are truly evil. Maybe this article is just wrong about the delivery, but Roblox is evil.
