I knew a guy who got into d&d in middle school and it drastically improved his grades.

The fact is that gaming is reading, writing, math, make believe, structured socializing, and sometimes history and sometimes art. It's exactly like school, except fun.

I learned a lot of English by playing Runescape.

My son taught himself English by setting Minecraft to English. Once he mastered that, he set it to Pirate.
