Clash of clans is being used in classrooms?!?

So in our school we got an truckload of iPad minis and the teachers was just like.... I think its good for kids to play CoC (by kids i mean 14-16 year olds). Almost everyone in our class was playing CoC already and a friend put their hand up and be like "um ms, we already play this game"

And then it ended to be an noob CoC class and an happy day :)

EDIT: I hear other schools are also doing this.

What do you learn from playing in school? This is a serious question.

My teacher believes that there is math in playing stratagy games like CoC

Wait why on earth is the tax payers money being wasted on THIS ?

Clearly spelling was something they need to incorporate.

Some games may be educational and help kids but coc isn't one. I have serious concerns for your countries future if your teachers think letting kids play coc is good and will help them. Sounds more like a lazy teacher who has checked out.

I mean, is there anything specifically they tell you to calculate or make graphs for, or just let you play without any extra work involved?
