Anyway, I wish American classrooms were awesome enough to do this also.

"Hey, it's the letter 'B'! Obviously I should connect this letter to 4chan's Random board. They're the same thing, right?"

Holy stuff, that was my train of thought word for word, except for bolded.

I'm british, and this has never happened in any school near me, even though i'm close to a big city.
It's probably just for kindergarten/Year 1-5, not that i'm saying little big planet is for kids, but they'd probably never put it in a classroom full of 13-15 year olds.
U HAVE ALGEBRA TO DO!!!!

Doesn't really affect me unfortunately, because I'm cool and I go to college

It's a great idea to replace edutainment games, but I find it a bit of a bad idea.  It's WAY cheaper to use a standard windows PC game than to buy PS3's and copies of LBP2 and put them on TV carts.  Also, fewer kids will be able to experience it.  I don't know how large a classroom usually is in the UK, but if it's like here, it's not the best of ideas.  Game consoles don't really have a place in the classroom in my opinion, and it would be a much better investment to get netbooks or tablets into classrooms.

I wish my college had better funding, I'm taking courses in IT but there's no way at all for me to do my work outside the classroom because we're not allowed to use USB sticks in case we infect the entire network without realizing it, pretty good reason I guess but it's not a good enough reason since it completely confines all work to the classroom and nowhere else :c
