alt Hacker NewsThe whole "browser game" industry is built on this phenomenon. It's about getting kids on school laptops mindlessly looping on something while shoving ads in their face.
Honestly, get the tech out of classrooms. A few 8 bit machines that can run LOGO are far more genuinely educational than all the gunk they have today.

Gotta get schools back to using paper homework. There's so many of those awful online classroom portals for homework. Absolutely trash software, technically speaking.

What? Browser games were half of what made flash popular back in the day before laptops were even a normal consumer device.
You're spot on with classrooms not needing tech though. They add complications and distractions on top of an already difficult task.
