I think you have the key: "certain parameters."  Nearly anything can be 
acceptable under the right circumstances. I don't allow game playing 
during the school day - unless a teacher brings a class in for just that 
purpose! Any student can play games on the computers before or after 
school. I send kids back to class a couple of times each week because 
they come down to play games. That said, when a teacher brings a class 
to play games, I don't object. The only one who does that, though, is 
one special ed teacher who brings her class the last class period of the 
week as a reward IF they have completed all of their work. Sometimes 
other kids will come in then, see the special ed kids playing games, and 
ask why they can't. I tell them that they could if they were part of her 
class. That ends the questions.
