Re: PC tech gamers, parents & investors

Isolation or protection is not really the issue, in my case. That much
is for sure.
Dan is right - I had pong and that was it.
I did not do LAQ's in the 5th grade either. Our little scholar has
completed 6 books with Literary Analysis Questions (LAQ's) and I am
afraid the manhours for that alone is enought to warp a young mind - I
hope not.
I forgot to mention that our 5th grader reported someone while
embedded in RPG chat trying to sell companionship 24/7 while I was
looking over his shoulder.
I think it was to impress me with maturity. It worked.
Dudes, this has nothing to do with protection. These kids get the
world handed to them on a silver spoon. The issue is more about
balance, right/wrong and being responsible.

No, you should isolate them as much from the world as possible, make
sure that they never learn about the fact that there are "bad" people
out there.

School can also be a bad place, so lock them up in your basement and
homeschool them.

When they're 18, kick them out. After all, they're adults know and
will know how to deal with the world.

NOT.

I'll never understand parents that want to isolate their children from reality.
