>From Ken Hassman For each of the twelve years I taught school (4th -6th grades, mostly 6th grade) I regularly and unscientifically polled the students to get an idea of their diets, the hours spent watching tv, time spent engaging in physical activities, and how many hours per day they played video games. Besides discovering how many kids put soda on their breakfast cereal, I was always amazed to discover, each and every year, that the top students in the class typically spent the most hours playing video games.
Then, not so long ago I read an article that talked about surgeons who play 3 hours per week of video games made a lot less mistakes in surgery. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-04-07-surgeons-video-games_x.ht m Kenny H. > > > tv watchin I -- In [email protected], Rick Archer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> on 9/24/06 8:53 AM, curtisdeltablues at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>> >>> On the big negative side are those freak'n video games!
