Students should be allowed to play Video Games during school days for the following reasons:


  • It occupies time when finished homework/studying. There is approximately 7-8 hours of free time for a student when coming home from school, and some of that time will most likely be spent with leisure.
  • It stops "sneak playing." Many students play video games behind their parents' backs, and in fact they may play more than people who are allowed to play on school days.
  • It suppresses the gaming "weekend warrior." Students (who are not allowed to play on school days) --usually play excessively on the weekends, ignoring all prior commitments (homework, sports etc.) essentially becoming a video game addict--. This is because of the lack of gaming on a daily basis --so they feel that they need to play as much as they can on the weekends--.
  • It prevents students from hating their parents when they are older. They will not feel like they did not have the privileges that other classmates had, and have a higher morale. They will be more focused in school, sports etc.
  • They will not be distracted with anticipation of the upcoming weekend. Knowing that they are able to play on school days, students will not feel obligated to play their hearts out on the ever-so-special weekend. With this, they will most likely play less on the weekends; while playing moderately on school days, sometimes outgrowing video games.
  • It may counter TV/computer addiction. With video games, the more severe TV /computer addictions will subside.
Here are some tips on how to control a student's gaming:
  • Only allow he/she to play video games after all prior commitments are finished (homework, chores etc.).
  • Set an allotted time of gaming for the student on school days; ideally 1-2 hours.
  • For students: Know when to stop. When you think you are too involved in the game, stop playing as it may turn into video game addiction.
