I asked about information about Runescape and only received two replies. I have included the replies and my original request. I recommended having the club to my principal but I will have to see how she responds. Thanks, Kris McGlaun Kristina M.

I went on the online game a little bit, >but truthfully couldn't get past the first dragon. Has any school allowed students >to play the game on the school computers and if you have is there a form or any >guidelines you have set up? > > Any help would be appreciated. > > Thanks, > Kris McGlaun ________________________________ We do not allow any of these types of games on the computers at the schools. My son who is now 14 went through a Runescape phase. It is highly addicting. He is now into WOW (World of Warcraft) another highly addictive game but we have time limits on it for him. I would make sure that you get the parents permission for this game and make sure to turn off settings so that no one can talk to each other over the Web. My son did have one guy talk to him about personal things. I hope this helps. ________________________________ We don't allow students to play Runescape at school because we have a policy that does not allow students to play on-line games that have chat features. No control on who they are talking to within the game and do not want to be responsible for a student connecting with someone who could cause problems down the line for them. > > Kristina M.
