Summary | A mother who homeschools their children lets them play video games for up to seven hours a day. Experts criticize this because excessive video gaming reduces the development of empathy and other important psychological and cognitive developments. They are clearly not receiving nearly as much educaton as children in the public school system. All this is however legal as homeschooled children do not need to follow the curriculum or sit standardized exams.
