Pupils who read all night long may be very sleepy in school on the next day. |
|||
A useful function for Sugar could be a scheduled "Lights out" time as in a boarding school. |
|||
The function probably would have to use the school server as a time server. |
|||
During the night the laptop could refuse to display anything but a clock. |
|||
The laptop could also have a defined amount of unscheduled "book time" during which the |
|||
laptop would only be usable as a book. |
|||
This would only apply after excessive non-book use. |
|||
== Exceptions == |
|||
Pupils could be allowed to use the laptop at night during a limited number of exceptions. |
|||
[[Mentoring|Mentors]] should be able to monitor exceptions in order to be able to discuss potential problems. |
|||
Night-time use of the laptop can be used as a scarce resource and be used to train responsible use. |
|||
(A psychological effect of prohibiting night-time use entirely could be to make it artifically interesting instead.) |
|||
== Parent cooperation == |
|||
Such a function could also be used to invite parents into a cooperative decision making process about parenting |
|||
in order to define a common standard for a class: The parents are asked to agree on a common "Lights out" time |
|||
for all children in a class; the time can require adjustment every year. |
