He argues that game analysis must rank player power because not all players matter equally; in schools, students may be the majority yet their actual wants matter little.
He says students are in school mainly to please parents and teachers because parents pay for life and teachers give grades; learning is not the actual priority in the game.
He says students also play multiple games: doing well in school, friendship/popularity, and pleasing parents; in his ranking, pleasing parents comes first, friendship second, and actual learning last.
