Scottish teachers are considering making Football Manager a subject for homework

‘Monday’s homework: sign Tó Madeira and Tonton Zola-Moukoko.’

REMEMBER THE DAYS (or maybe you’re going through these days at the moment) when you’d come home from school with loads of homework to do, but instead neglect it to play a Johnstone’s Paint Trophy second round replay with your beloved Burton Albion team on Football Manager?

Well children in Scotland may soon be actually doing homework by playing the game, rather than avoiding it and going further down the road of exam failure.

Plans were discussed this week at a meeting of the Scottish Association of Teachers of Physical Education to bring the playing of games such as Football Manager and Just Dance into physical education lessons.

Mr Almond said: “Games such as Football Manager are a very good way to get people to understand football and the role it has in our society.”

The only downside is that, if it does come in, only an hour’s play will be designated at a time and, as we all know, it’s simply not possible to play Football Manager for such a meagre amount of time as one hour.
