[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you switched your perspective on this? Is it possible that the students were supposed to be writing an essay, creating a presentation, etc., and were sneaking around and playing video games instead? Does your child have a responsibility to be doing what they are supposed to be doing?[/quote] There's a line of thinking that some of these video games are addictive. A small group of parents in MCPS has been tearing their hair out about this for years. Their kids have ADHD and are more susceptible to addictive behaviors. The parents are doing everything they can do (meds, after school sports, consequences at home, requesting teachers to move back to paper). It's one of the reasons that parents of means withdraw their kids to private schools. [/quote]
