EP4: Game Over for Grades? The Truth About Gaming and Academic Success | Hess Academy Podcast

In this episode of the Hess Academy Podcast, we dive into a classic dilemma faced by students and parents alike: Does gaming really ruin your grades? Terence and Teacher Naga take on the ongoing debate around screen time and school performance. Is it true that students need to give up gaming completely to succeed in their exams? Or is there more nuance to the story? They examine what the research says about gaming and attention spans, self-regulation, and sleep—while also highlighting how, for some students, gaming can offer a form of stress relief or even sharpen problem-solving skills. Is the problem the games themselves, or how—and when—they’re played? They also dig into the root concern many parents have: Is gaming a distraction from school, or a symptom of deeper issues like burnout and lack of motivation? And how should families set boundaries without creating constant conflict? Join Teacher Naga, a former MOE educator in mainstream schools, and Terence, an alumnus of Raffles Institution, as they explore whether you really need to press “pause” on gaming to hit “play” on academic success.
