And speaking thereof, more PROOF KIDS ARE GETTING SMARTER THAN EVER -- on VIDEO GAMES:A stunning 81% of [New York City]'s eighth-graders flunked the state's basic social studies exam last year - and the scores have gone down annually since the test debuted in 2001.
"Clearly we have a crisis on our hands," said City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz (D-Manhattan)....A crisis we could solve -- with VIDEO GAMES!!!!!
