Indonesia Enforcing Gaming Ban During 'Homework Hours'
In a rare non-GTA IV post over at GTAPolitics GamePolitics, it appears that the always-cuddly Indonesian government is once again cracking down on gamers - this time by enforcing a ban on gaming during a two-hour period that the local municipality calls "homework time."
The municipality of Bekasi... [is] ordering all students within its jurisdiction to study and do their homework or face legal consequences... The new regulations require students, from elementary school to high school, to study between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. either at home alone or with classmates from the same neighborhood. During study time, no TV or video game will be alowed and students will be banned from going to the mall or entertainment centers.
Notice it's not just gaming that's forbidden during study time - the ban includes TV as well as malls and entertainment centers. But what about kids who get their work done early?

I wonder what their schedules are like that they would be doing homework that late. . .I know when I was in school, when we did homework that late it was because we had looots of work.
Yeah, I was in one of those households you have to do hw first. Setting it aside for those times will only encourage stress, procrastination, and a decreased will for students to take the law seriously.
