Fortnite’s popularity hasn’t slowed down and neither have the problems it’s causing for children in school.
Today alone, several local news outlets have reported ongoing problems with Fortnite and its incredibly strong hold it has on students. West Witney Primary School performed a survey on whether or not to ban the incredibly popular game. Older students ultimately voted in opposition to banning and the school went on to warn parents the game is not suitable for younger children.
Another school went a more detailed route and banned Fortnite dances like “Floss” and other emotes. Head teacher Catherine Cox went on to explain these dances were being used to “surround and intimidate other children” and that Fortnite is showing “obsessive and overactive behavior” in students that play. The school was met with backlash when parents took to social media to express their concerns.
