Should Highschool students be alowed to play computer games during school?
Not like during class, but like during free time & between classes & during lunch,
times when there is NO teaching.

Me & a group of guys in my class have been playing Halo during first period. Keep in mind that it is Homecoming Week & there is no actual teaching going on in this class because of activities. Our teacher said no more playing at all. Do you think this is fair?

They shouldn't (along with other games) be allowed at school...school is there to learn. Sorry.

    If it's something that circulates around the school's curriculum that promotes expanding the human logic then, yes.

    uhmm, okay hun,
    firstly, i am not an idiot.....
    i have a 3.82 GPA.
    i might be blonde, but im definitely not a dumb one...
    secondly,
    once again....
    THERE IS NO LEARNING TAKING PLACE WHILE WE ARE PLAYING THIS.
    we are NOT playing during class.
    we aren't even being loud while playing.
    we are playing like the last 5 or 10 minutes while everyone else is talking at the END of class....
    AFTER class is over.....
    NO LEARNING HAPPENING!

    gaw dang.....

    "They are their to learn, not play. No wonder this generation is full of idiots."

    before you go calling anyone an idiot, you might want to make sure you've passed second grade english....
    "their" should be "there"

    duh.

    -Top buttons up (well everywhere usually)
    -only school socks XD
    -not allowed to eat out in our uniforms
    -hair-ties must be black, brown or green
    -hair longer than shoulder length must be tied up

    You were only playing a game. That isn't going to hurt anyone.

    Answered Yes

    Yeah I don't see why not. So long as it is not during class time and it's not affecting their learning or distracting others.

    But then I might just think that because I absolutely hated school. =^P

    I will say no but I suppose it would be OK during lunch or study hall for those students who are getting their work done.

    Why should i care? they ain't there for games.. they are there to get an education and get the credits required in need of graduating.. kids don't go to school to play the games.. it's strictly in the "Learning Zone"
    and that's just letting kids think they can take charge of teachers by getting to play games...
  • raves     [-] by .ambercrombie
    okay, if you don't really care, then maybe you should stay out of it.

    & once again.... we play this when there is absolutely no teaching going on & if we werent playing, then we would just be sitting there taking up air, being bored......
  • raves   -1 [-] by iM iN L0VE WiTH A REAL MAN
    ummn, i can do whatever the hell i wanna.. your the one who posted this poll so if you don't wanna welcome the community and take their opinions then make private polls.. don't get smart... i was sayin what i wanted and felt like it... bye
  • raves +1   [-] by .ambercrombie
    firstly, i posted the poll for people that CARE about the situation in the first place....

    first thing you say..
    "why should i care"

    the way i see it, if you dont really care, then why would you say anything at all?
    stay off it if you could care less....
    don't waste your time!
    if you're just going to be like that,
    then why should i care about what you have to say?
    i don't

    secondly, i do welcome & respect the community's opinion whether it be against what i think or for it.
    I think that we should be allowed to play this while no schooling is going on.
    most people have said that it shouldnt be allowed at all.
    did i go back & thrash them?
    no, because i respect their opinions & i can see where they are comming from & why they would think the way they do...

    however, i dont respect people with the whole "i could really care less, but im going to tell you what i think anyways" attitude.
    if you are going to act like that, then i really don't take you seriously & could infact care less about what you think....

    so bottom line is, if you're going to be like "why should i care" then i really don't care about what you have to say....

    & from the looks of your profile & comments, you might want to pay closer attention in english class yourself....

    oh & i meant to ask, how exactly is being able to play games after class is over, "taking charge of teachers"
    care to elaborate on this?

    Once again, give a small person a little bit of power and they turn it into t tyranny. Some teachers have bombastic egos, and they abuse their positions. Unless the games are overtly inappropriate for school- violence, nudity, sexually explicit- then it should be allowed.
  • raves +1   [-] by .ambercrombie
    lol,
    that is very true.

    yes, i agree with those standards.

    It not fair that the teacher said yall can't play computer games. If nobody's teaching then what's the problem?
  • raves +3   [-] by brady969
    The problem is American kids are dumb compared to other countries. Take that time and study so some kid from Japan or China doesn't come here and work circles around you and make more money than you or ends up your boss.
  • raves     [-] by .ambercrombie
    yeah i understand what you're saying.
    but the whole point of it is, that we arent even learning anything at the time of the game play,
    so they could at least teach class all period long or even as "one week until my birthday" said, let us socially interact.
    but no all we do is sit there & when we found something that entertains us, they try to take it away....
