Too Many Computers Hurt Learning
An anonymous reader writes "The Christian Science Monitor is running a story on a recent University of Munich study of school children in 31 countries that found a correlation between frequent computer usage and poor academic performance. Having more than one computer in the home was found to be particularly bad news! For those Slashdotters with children, how do you deal with your kids' computer use?"

Maybe everyone else is just dumber then you. Where I come from you would be hard pressed to do well with that much gaming late at night.

I'm sorry, but the Christian Science Monitor? Are you kidding me?

There is no official national language.
I repeat: there is no official national language.
Oh, by the way, let's get out country to get back to speaking native tongues first. Once these stupid white people stop thinking their "Americans", then maybe we can kick them back to Europe and get out of these damn reservations.
1. Children should never be allowed to just hop on the computer when they want. Always make them ask.
2. They shouldn't be allowed on the internet without supervision or some sort of Net Nanny type program.
3. They should be given 2 hours or less a day to use the computer unless they actually need it for school.
Thats how it works at my house.
Read my short stories - You won't regret it.

And NEVER let a kid have a PC in their own room!
If you don't want to repeat the past, stop living in it.

I like things that are sweet and not things that are lame. --
