In reading the Read Write Web article "Supreme Court Weighs Violent Video Game Ban" I am all for the idea. Many students are playing these violent games and are acting out based on ideas they see on these games. I do agree that not allowing minors to purchase these games is goo in helping parents monitor their children's games to protect them from harmful matter. However, why should they be alone in the first place purchasing these types of games...where are their parents at?
Should it be monitored and possibly fined if the ban is not followed like they are trying to do in California or are we infringing on people rights by doing this, even though we are just trying to keep students safe and not give them any of these crazy ideas of violence.
I agree! My students have laptops and use them throughout the day. During their freet ime that can't seem to cope with not playing games-many of which are violent. As a non-gamer I can't always decided if something is appropriate. I try to limit their laptop time during free time.
