[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a mistake to get a laptop. Get a desktop, set it up in a public area in your home. That's where homework is done. If they have to sit near you to use the computer, they will spend less time "multitasking" and more working. The more portable the screens, the more they will use them, for good or ill.[/quote] This. Set up a desktop at a desk in the kitchen. They'll do their homework and get off the computer. Get them a laptop and they will head straight for their bedroom. You will never see them again, and they probably won't get their homework done.[/quote]
