There's a school in NYC that has teamed up with the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and a profession game designer, Katie Salen, to make school like a Video Game.
For example, a math teacher was playing a pac-man like game and the students where to see if they could find the pattern in how the enemies moved and then plot that on a graph. OK, they were 6th graders, but still, it's an interesting idea.
Instead of letter grades or numbers, their report cards say “pre-novice,” “novice,” “apprentice,” “senior” or “master.”
Here's the whole story behind Quest to Learn if you'd like to read more.
What high school lessons could be taught as a game? How would you like it if all your classes used video games somehow?

Yes, Just YES.
I believe that this might be a serus idea in many schools and would be a very curios experiment.
would that mean that tests would be considered boss levels?
I mean if you were into video games this would be rad(i think it is), but to those who arent then i feel that they wouldnt get it and maybe have a harder time learning
