Minecraft should be a subject in schools

 I believe that Minecraft should be a subject in all schools. Because it not only helps with math but also with architecture, it can even boost creativity in children, and the great community that this game has for the user will make this game fun for students to learn in a way never thought possible.

This game is so educational it can teach students about area and perimeter in a whole new way. For example, when building you need to know what and how to build it you will need to know the area and perimeter so you will have enough space for the basics when building. Since all the building materials are cubes it's easy to do this because everything will be like making a grid in a maths book. This is really helpful with maths and skill sets to become a builder.

 It not only helps with math but also with architecture. By using real-life materials such as stone, emeralds, lapis lazuli, and diamonds, This game is based on some physics and all the materials are real but it depends on the way you look at it. It also shows levels of the earth when mining. These help with future architects in the long run because of the game is based on an earth but where you can do whatever you want.

This is also a game of imagination where you can be wild and free. Minecraft can boost creativity in students by giving them the power to build whatever they want. You can build multiple things like cars, houses, planes and landscape your own world. This game has many choices you can even switch between creative and survival. Creative is a world where you have all the materials. Survival where you have to gather your own resources.  This game is good if you want to boost creativity in your mind.

But there's one problem this game was not made for education but for a fun waste of time. This game's purpose was made to be fun by making a world where you can get lost and build whatever you want. The Minecraft creator made this game in six days. To be a game that is meant to be a game, not an educational tool. This is the reasons why this game just started making its way into schools.

That is why I think this game should be a subject in schools. Because of its creativity boost in children, and how it helps with maths and architect but it was not made for education.
