Do You Text at the Dinner Table?

How much homework should teachers give during a vacation? Why?
- Teachers should not issue homework during vacations because while the students are stressing and not enjoying their breaks, the teachers are having a great time. Homework should be issued only if the student is falling behind and needs the extra credit. Other than that homework is a burden to us over the break.

How old do you think someone should be before they are allowed to play violent video games? Should parents buy violent video games for minors? Why?
- I think the minimum age for someone to begin playing violent games is 13. I think its up to the parets to decide wether or not their children are ready for games of such matter. I think 13 is a reasonable age so that the child begins to process what they are seeing/doing.

Should stores sell violent video games to minors?
- I think stores shouldn't sell violent to minors unless they have a parent or guardian with them. I think it is up to the parent in the end wether or not the child should be able to play such violent games.

Tell us about your digital media habits. How much time (and money) do you spend texting? Do you recognize yourself at all in these teens’ stories? Do you often switch between doing homework and things like checking Facebook, watching videos or playing games? Do you find it hard to focus on and process your schoolwork? Are your grades affected? Do you – or your parents – try to set limits on your use of technology?
- I think i spend a lot of my time texting and sometimes its hard to focus on other things. Thats one reason why i think is really a bad idea to ext and drive. I definitely can recognize myself in some of the een stories, kids whose lives revolve around texting and cant seem to find any thing to keep them from texting. Sometimes while doing homework i usually take breaks to get on Facebook, or to do other things that will not help me finish my initial goal. It is definitely harder to finish homework when im distracted and i find myself spending unnecessary time on 5 min assignments. My grades are definitely affected most of the time when i dont finish assignments

- I think it is more likely for a person to review a product they like than one that they dislike. Then again how will they know if they dislike a product unless they have experienced it for themselves.
