Not when we are learning something but when we are doing nothing but sitting...like dismisal! etc

My school is already neutral on handheld systems.

Consoles, however, are out of the question, as we don't have any TVs.
 
I'd say yes in study halls, on the bus, and other times when you're not learning something, but not when you are or when you have time to do work.

Video games, I think, could be used as a reward for doing all of your work, but you shouldn't play them just whenever.
 
No. The regulated apportionment of time is not conducive to the playing and enjoyment of video games. In any case, I think that schools should be, first and foremost, learning environments, and video games can only serve as distractions except when they are implemented as part of the general or a specific curriculum.

Well put.
 
My school is fine with bringing electronics if it's during the free time. I even brought my Wii there several times!

There's nothing wrong with bringing video games as long as you don't use it in class time.
 
Yes, wires and all. I brought it into a classroom that was open and where I usually go to in my free time.

See, I couldn't do that because my school doesn't have any TVs.
