[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who here remembers the days of getting to go to the computer lab on Fridays to play the Oregon Trail?

The games they're playing and much more educational than what I ever played in ES, that's for sure.

We don't limit screen time as I find limiting things makes them automatically desired for being forbidden.  Neither kid is obsessed with their devices, either.  We teach balance and responsibility instead.  My DS had a friend that only asked to come play so he could play games at our house after his screen time at home was up.  He was allowed 1 hour of screen time/video games when at a friend's house and his mom made sure it was strictly enforced.  But I had no trouble enforcing it because as soon as the hour was up, he was gone.  On to the next house to play for another hour.  This went on for a few weeks before I finally told his mom what he was doing and that if he wanted to play with my son, he needed to actually play with him, not just use him for 60 more minutes of video games.  Redic.    [/quote]

Baloney.  Different poster.  There is not a causal relationship between propensity to download porn or illicit song materials AND reasonable parent limits at home.  If anything, the reverse is true.  The studies and literature support the other posters' contentions that reasonable parent limits at home help to form a more ethical and moral child who is NOT as tempted by porn and highly sexualized material.   Regardless, the schools should not under any circumstances be allowing access to this material and everything should be blocked.  I do not want my tax money to pay for an 11 year-old to download porn at school and that is what is happening right now in our school system.  Also, take a closer look at the games your child is playing.  Some of them have hidden agendas and once a player achieves a certain level the child is rewarded with porn.  [/quote]
