Marikina Students Banned From Internet Gaming

This is just a quick post and only Applicable to my Filipino Readers : I just see a report that there is new City ordinance prohibiting Internet Gaming for students in Marikina, Philippines.
“We are strictly implementing our ordinance that strictly prohibits Internet establishments from allowing students to use their computer equipment especially during school hours,” said Ramos.
So those establishment having this kind of Business will need to be very careful since the police authority is on their head. Ramos urged the Internet cafés catering to students doing projects, homework and research, to block off obscene Web Sites and not to admit students to play games during school hour.
I believe Marikina Authority is right in doing this kind of things. Computers should be used in a rightful manner, and not just for playing games. I also hope that other Municipality in Philipines follow the same rules like Marikina. But what about Chatting and Internet Browsing during School Hour will they ban it also ? Well just asking

I’m not in favor of that law. It’s the parent’s responsibility to discipline their children don’t pass it on to the local government.
Like the saying “All work and no play makes Barney a dull boy”.

I agree that parents are responsible for their kids discipline, but who can say what kids will do behind their parents’ backs? This is an extra precaution, IMO, and has been around for quite a while now. Besides, it’s not a law, but rather a city ordinance within Marikina. I’m not sure if other towns/cities are doing the same thing.
I just hope they’ll be a little considerate especially if a student needs to use computer facilities during school hours.

@ snoob,
I agree that parents are responsible for their kids discipline. We as parent can only tell our kids what to do and what not to do, but when they are outside with the influence of their friends we cannot see what they are doing.

” I just hope they’ll be a little considerate especially if a student needs to use computer facilities during school hours. ” I agree, those officers should know how to distinguished playing from surfing.

If kids back stab parents, that’s not discipline at all.

I am not in favor of this ordinance because it does not solve the real problem – which is student delinquency.
They are barking at the wrong tree, cutting classes existed even before internet gaming was invented.
By implementing this ordinance, they are simply telling the students to go find another place where they can spend time and kill the hours while they skip school.
