o_o an hour on the computer is not enough to do anything.

i'd go into my rant about this stuff but i'm afraid that it would go to the point of insulting your mother so i'll restrain myself just this once.

We don't have all of the facts. Her grades may be failing due to too much unrestricted computer time. She might be a latchkey kid and the parents can't monitor the usage. I know, it's easy to be pissed off at a parent, but if you ever have kids, you'll see why stuff like this can be needed.

it probably bothers me more because i was never restricted on the computer. i've had my own computer since i was 11 or 12 and haven't even been monitored on the computer since i could type and find my way around it myself. i can't remember when this was about i started with playing games i had to run through dos. heck i've been on the internet so long i can't even remember why i used ot be on it before i started playing games on it o_o. holy crap i'm old

I was the same way. And I know what I did with that unrestricted time, which isn't exactly something I want my kid doing, heh.

True. In all honesty, I would just disable the internet after one hour. A computer is needed much more than in the past. Internet usage has become quite necessary for many tasks, so restricting internet would still allow usage of word processing, and other programs like Photoshop.

If it's needed for a project or homework, it can be bypassed by a person with the password.
