    every currently working teacher i know at least lived through the arcade era (i’m tired that came out weird. you know what i mean). the ones that graduated before 1972 are mostly retired and dead.

      They may have lived through the arcade era.
      But how many of those have played there and havent become desinterested in games? And how many transformed into video game haters (just like the radicalization of democratic left-leaning olks into right/far-right leaning for all the wrong reasons)

      Even today most I know (of >40 y/o adults) arent even interested in games or at least keep the interest under locks.
      I’d assume at most <25% of teachers have any interest in video games.
      And of those 25% maybe only 10% have any interest in actual modern games and not just digital board games and casual games.

      I’d compare it to Anime.
      Maybe a 2:1 or 3:1 distribution (Games : Anime)

      Tap for spoiler

      Those numbers are my own observation.
