African Aqua Farming Game proposal

For a gaming lesson within my Full Sail University Masters in Instructional Design I develop a Project Based Learning style of game that was not self contained but leverage the collaborative content on the internet.
For this I contacted the NGO Sarnissa that is driven through Sterling University. In the game the farmer works with a team exploring the resources of the Internet on Aqua farming and ends with a 100% releven business plans and badge.
This game is based on the methods of the Global Learning Framework and Transformation Learning Framework.

The response is how press, government and the academic elite deflecting the deeper causes of violence in US schools. This is what I wrote: Dear friend. If I may, I would like to rephrase your question from “Why throw a student out of a classroom?” into, “What is causing the escalating this chaos to the point of mass murders.” Which leads to the second question and that is, “Why are higher academia, politicians and the wealthy so clueless on violence in US schools?” It feels like we are in a dystopia movie, perhaps because we are.   I mean this in the kindest way . Because I understand you are university faculty. Just to ask me why I would throw a kid out of the room is a question a US public school teacher would not ask. A te
