**Bring ROBLOX to school!**
Roblox is a massive mutliplayer gaming site. Logging a huge amount of gameplay hours every day but it needs to take a step back and look at the wider picture. Roblox is something people play at home. Most school blocking systems will block Roblox and it certainly won't be encouraged. How could Roblox become school-friendly? This is where I suggest the school client. This is a piece of software made for schools.

*Restricted access; certain areas of Roblox will be blocked:*
Forums
Catalog
Upgrade
Blog
Cross-user Messaging

*Why should these places be allowed for schools?*
Trade Currency - This teaches kids the basic rules of exchanges rates.
Groups - Teaches them how to be a leader and a team player. How to moderate.
Build - Helps people learn the basics of real life building and when Roblox ups it's physics further. Teaches them gravity, physics, etc.

**LUA Lessons**
The client would have a wide range of lessons teaching students lua which could be done in IT lessons. It teaches them the basics of coding. The aim would be to script something and then the teachers could review it and give it a mark. When a lesson is done it will show completed and the pass mark gained for it.

**Marketing it**
This would take a lot of marketing. Roblox staff would need to visit schools all over. Starting with local schools to the roblox offices then gradually expand. Maybe try to get in contact with some school regulators. Get the word spread.

This would probably be one of the, if not the biggest task ever for Roblox but if it works the goal for Roblox to become a household name would be reached.

I like the idea. Just I don't think that the scripting thing would give a mark for a paper....I think scripting/building would proberly be for ICT Lessons, ECT.

No...
School is there for you to learn. Not to play ROBLOX. *facepalm*
I'll be taking AP Calculus "Ok class, lets go play ROBLOX and learn!"
No. Just no. -_- They are a business, but if they go into schools, I will purposely quit, spam the forums, spam the comments, and do everything I can to make the moderators work overtime.

Lets make a few things straight. The aim of this is a separate client so at home you could play roblox normally. It would be in IT lessons, duh! I said schools do not encourage it, not Roblox. If Club Penguin can get away with been educational then why can't Roblox?

School should be a place where you come to learn, not a place to play Roblox with your friends.

Actually Steven got a point there with building so you know when there is a school project and you have to build something well I think roblox is maybe good for it because it save money and you don't have to got nuts bringing something in to class that is big. And that it is instant to show for the teachers.
