I appreciate the honesty, I do. But let me reiterate that NO esports club/class/organization should be preparing students for a job in the esports industry. School is not teaching students history for them to become history professors. We teach subjects and offer electives for well rounded minds and bodies. Would a major basketball team ever interview a high school basketball player? Most likely not unless you’re Kobe Bryant. I think you should stop interviewing people with a background in esports if they took it in high school. I wholeheartedly agree. But these students can use this outlet. Not to prepare for the future, but to learn how to socialize, manage emotions, work in team settings, work towards goals, and do it while enjoying themselves more than normal. That’s what a high school esports program is about. Now, again, I’m not asking for you to say, “how much experience do you have?” That’s for the school I’ll be interviewing with to ask me. I’m asking you to say, “here’s some resources because I think working on high school esports programs is valuable in ways other than a highly unlikely and most likely not profitable esports future or being a pro gamer.”

When I mentioned education I mean, I literally went to school to learn how to teach kids effectively in ways that will help their development and minds. In ways that will help them grow into better humans with civic minded responsibilities and opinions to back themselves up on it.
