Britain's Association of Teachers rags on video games, gamers and ...

"It's about reminding parents and carers that they have a very real responsibility for their children and that schools can't do it alone. It takes the very serious and labour-intensive business of proper care and attention of young children before they go to school and while at school to allow them to learn most effectively.

If they're up to 12 or one o'clock playing computer games, and coming to school exhausted, not interacting with other children, that's not good preparation for school, and not good preparation for life. The fact that children spend hours locked in their rooms playing computer games, which means they're not interacting, they're not playing and not taking exercise." - ATL head Dr. Mary Bousted

Do parents need to get a better understanding of game ratings? Do parents need to keep closer watch on what their kids are doing? I would say yes in both cases. Blaming games specifically doesn't seem fair though. If a kid is up until midnight every school night, they are going to be tired the next day. It doesn't matter what they were doing!
