Games/School

I'm not real sure that online games should be in the school curriculum for everyday, but maybe monthly or even bi weekly. I know that children today need to be motivated to do their best in school,but I guess I'm old school and feel that having them play games is almost like letting them eat desert before their dinner. I have read that it's good for coordination, problem solving,etc, so I know it has it's good points but not in everyday school hours. I know about motivation, my son Collin is thirteen and loves to carp fish,but hasn't cared for social studies until his social teacher motivated him by telling him to keep his grades above a ninety and he'll go fishing with him this summer,so far so good. I don't think I would have approved if the motivator was to play games during school?
