[quote=Anonymous]My DS started 6th grade this year (1st year of middle school) and so far, his grades have been awful in certain classes.  It is the first year he has to do his homework mostly online on Google classroom.  He gets home at 4:00 and is supposed to get online to do his HW.  I get home close to 6:00 and from the amount he has finished, I am sure he isn't working on his homework the entire time.  I wish we could go back to paper/pencil HW but that's not going to happen.  I've never used parental controls on my Macbook so I don't even know what is available.  Here are my questions.  1) I know I can create additional profiles on my laptop but if I create one for him, will he still have access to Steam?  I am tempted to get rid of it completely since I suspect that is what he is doing before I get home.   2) Are there parental controls that will prevent him from erasing the browsing history since I also think he has been going on YouTube and then erasing the history.  He is a good kid but he is also 11.  I've taken away his video game privileges on the weekends when I suspect he is wasting time during afterschool hours online but that doesn't really deter him.  Thanks in advance.[/quote]
