Please lord don't be a school in New Zealand.

it won't be. I know quite a few teachers in nz who use iPads in their classes and they use proper educational apps not games.

How is Math involved? 1+1 = Golem?

For Homework do you have to farm as much as you can?, Max your defences?, Have the most attacks/defends?

Fairly useless school IMO :(

Let them play during classes, we all need waiters and mailboys

i can make a few math questions from coc.
example 1: if tommy is saving gold to upgrade his wizard tower (720000 gold) and he has 719999, how much more does he need?
example 2: if a mortar shoots one round every five seconds and does 7 damage per second, how much longer will it take to actually kill a troop with 200 health than it would if the mortar shot one shot per second and each shot did 7 damage?

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So if they extended the lunch break by 15 minutes every student would fail and become mailboys? Or if they extended a few minutes from the time to get to the next class by even 2.5 minutes, every student would not get a good job? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt hoping that you actually thought they let them play CoC throughout the school day every day.

On topic, I think it is fine for math teachers to incorporate 15 minutes of break/fun time to the students if the class all together did good on a past test etc. CoC is also a strategy game so its not like flappy bird where you keep tapping the screen. In a sense CoC is a good way to keep your brain working while you are having fun.

If you actually use "Brain Power" to play CoC, you're struggling in life.

The only math in it is counting your loot, and the loot system.

Well, I definitely would say this is wrong. Totally wrong...

@SneakyMaori, I'm just about to send a ship of iPads with Clash pre-installed to NZ for ya ;)
