[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I’m old but why the heck are parents blaming the school when their kids chooses to play video games? I would come down really hard on that as a parent if I found out. It’s like saying “of course my kid is throwing paper airplanes in class all day! You gave him access to paper!”[/quote] Yes, you must be old, as you don't understand what MCPS is like these days. MCPS gives kids Chromebooks, but doesn't have sufficient controls on them such that kids can't put video games on them. Parents are not in the classrooms to police this behavior at school. Teachers either don't know or don't have the bandwidth to stop the behavior when there are 30+ kids in class--it's not like the kids are playing video games loudly and disrupting class as in your paper airplane analogy where it's obvious. And parents don't have admin rights to the Chromebooks to delete any games or block any websites that are inappropriate or may be used, only MCPS does.[/quote]
