Moderates school policy spokesman Tomas Tobé endured some ridicule since he said that the Swedish school children playing too much video games.
No one has demonstrated a statistical link between computer games and poor school performance. Liberal commentators also went quickly out and reminded that adult society formerly had the same concerns when it came VIDEO VIOLENCE, role-playing, rock music, and even further back dance courses and novel reading.
And is not it true that adult society often reacted suspiciously toward new habits in children. Especially when the habits built on a new technology that the parent generation to the same extent not deliberate. But while you can not come from that more and more people are telling you that they or someone close to them has a problematic relationship with computer games. It’s really no surprise. Human beings seem to be programmed to like the game. Our brain knows the reward of playing, meet new challenges and to get better. That’s why computer games can be an effective learning tool if used properly. But the game can also be an escape. Especially if it is about young people who have not yet found confidence in themselves. The modern games are more ingenious than previously designed to capture their users. In addition, there are the result of new technology available virtually anywhere, and anytime. Computer game addiction is a well-documented and growing phenomenon. Therapists that helps computer game addicts have no difficulty finding clients. There are many parents who worry about their children’s gaming habits and there are many teachers who see their students’ school attendance is adversely affected. Of course, even politicians talk about it. Should we criticize Tomas Tobé it should be because he only mentions data gambling. Handshake between parents and society as Tobé mention must already exist and contain much more than moderately computer gaming. welfare society requires a charter around the children’s upbringing. Society stands for preschools, schools and access to higher education. A gigantic organization and jointly funded organization is in place to ensure that all children in Sweden to develop to their best ability. It’s amazing, but makes obvious demand on the parents. Society must be able to assume that children come to school, they’re rested, ate breakfast, and bring with them the necessary lessons and school day. Teachers can not be responsible for what their children do on the nights. The children themselves are minors and are entitled to have the support of their parents to develop new habits. This debate should be widened. It is not video games it’s about, but if an adult society that does not want to be just adult.Mathias Wide
