The Pros and Cons of E-Sports in High School

　Some overseas high schools have e-Sports in their classes or school club activities.// This has sparked a debate on the educational effects of e-Sports.//
　Some might agree with this idea since it is said that the games used in e-Sports have a positive impact on students.// In action games, for example, players need to both avoid enemies and attack them at optimal times.// Guessing the locations of enemies is said to improve their spatial awareness and their ability to make strategic decisions.//
　However, others might be against introducing e-sports in school because that can also have negative effects.// For example, some students become addicted to their online games, and their school life suffers because of these non-school activities.// Actually, it has been reported that some students did not return to school when the school term began because of games.// They played computer games throughout their summer vacation, and were unable to put them away.//
　Thus, the introduction of e-Sports into academic life could be a “double-edged sword.”//
