Ok if a kid neglects their studies and homework and does nothing but watch tv or play video games yes their grades will drop. But I call BS on the report that says that TV, Video Games and R Rated movies in general harm grades. I would like to point out I kept a B average in school and still watched tv and played video games for a good three to four hours a day.

Actually, it says that it only matters on schoolnights. Weekend watching/gaming seems to have no effect.

Think about this for a second, do you ever think that those who don't do it on the weekdays have more involved parents, what's going on here is that that is leading to better grades, not the absense of games on weekdays.

I had a B average in high school and I watched TV and played games every day of the week.

I smell BS.
