She gave the standard reply and then asked why he wanted to know. His response below.The school was trialing an experiment where the kids were taught to roleplay after school hours. They found that the kids did better in group assignments as they were more socialable with each other, encouraging ideas and generally being more creative.This was being conducted at a primary school for the higher grades, so ages 10 to 12 basically. I am not sure if the teacher was doing it with permission from the kid's parents and I really doubt he was doing it with the education department's approval. D&D has been banned in schools in Queensland for nearly the past 20 years (I think). I can remember 15 years ago when it was definitely banned.</blockquote>
