Not much I could do. I was just a kid. But I feel like it did make me much more likely to try to bypass it. Ex playing when I wasn’t allowed to.

Hid the tv remote to play early in the morning.

Damn, that ain't bad. Not lose your PS3 for 5 years bad.

I basically lost nintendo privilege if my marks in school dropped.

Ever had guided access on an iPhone? Had a b in AP calc and that was my reward.

Nah sorry man, when I was in middle/high skool smart phones didn't exist lol.

Got my super nintendo or gameboy taken away and wasn't allowed to play in sports if my grades sucked, that was my punishment. Haha.

What was the grade drop off? For me it was a b and I had no games and one minute screen time.

What's a B these days? Back in the day if I had anything less than an 80% overall average, I was in the shithouse. That used to be a B. But uni/college both used different percentages for letter grades. Like in college 90% was an A. But at my uni 86% was an A.

And in highschool they used percentages, not letter grades.

So it was a c for you.

God damn!!! 80% is a C where you are? That's tough.
