I'm sitting in the maths computer lab at uni playing both chess and scrabble, and occasionally doing work. I have realised that I quickly change windows if I am playing chess and someone walks by, but do nothing if I am playing scrabble.

Is this bad?

Scrabble is educational. Chess is not.

this is my opinion only.

games is games, but at chess one can see actual pieces while in a decent scrabble you only see a grid with letters which could (theoretically) mean anything.

Hiding ones gaming is a sign that one has a bad conscience. Not hiding some games means you left that stage...

I disagree.

I'd say both are.


This is my opinion only :-)



As to why the original poster hides the window ... I'm not sure if I'd say it was 'bad' but equally I'm not sure why you feel the need to do it. I suppose only you can answer that.

Depends whether or not you are a student or an employee!

If you're a student who gives a damn?

However, if you are being a supposedly constructive teacher then, in my opinion, playing games whilst in occupation is a sackable offence.

If caught twice on the trot after a warning , that is! 😏
