"To address the growing concerns about online-gaming, Level Up! Philippines (LU)—the country's first and leading online-game publisher, launched the Level Up! Honor Roll program, which seeks to promote responsible gaming among student-gamers."

I got that from one of the press releases of Level Up! Good move. No to students who are only good at firing guns but do not even accomplish their homeworks. The write up goes on with,

"In conjunction with the Honor Roll program, LU also has 'Unplugged,' a parent empowerment program that grants parents the opportunity and authority to block their children's game accounts or limit their playtime to acceptable hours."

I really commend Level Up! for this initiative, because a parent's influence strongly affect a child's habits and discipline.

I sure admire a student who's good with games of strategy, who's adept with new technologies, whose time is well managed and who's doing well in school.

How about a child who does not curse while gaming, in public and more importantly in private? Where does a disciplined mouth fit? I see and hear a lot of young boys do this. P*tang i*a's all over. Over and over. And aloud. Shouting those words at each other. So I ask again, where does a disciplined mouth fit? Given, cursing is annoying. Highly annoying when it comes from a mouth that does not even fully understand the meaning of what he has just uttered.

I say, BAN all those words in gaming shops. BAN. A conduct that computer shop owners should help enforce. No more PEOPLE (so this includes adults) who, only in excitement, can not discipline their mouths.

The news release by Level UP! ends with "The key towards a healthy gaming lifestyle is responsibility." I add, responsibility includes that for one's mouth. For I'd rather see a child who's average in academics but clean in mouth and deeds than an honor student with a mouth flowering with p*ta's.
