the operation of internet cafes near schools.

hours?
• 2. Should students be allowed to play computer games in internet
cafés near the school?
• 3. Who should help in implementing policies concerning internet
cafés?

policies?
• 5. What rewards do you suggest for internet cafés that implement
your policies?
Synthesis:

elementary or secondary schools is necessary to ensure the safety
and welfare of students. The policies should prohibit students from
using the internet café during school hours, playing computer games,
and accessing inappropriate content. The school administration, local
government units, and law enforcement agencies should collaborate
to implement the policies. Sanctions should be imposed on internet
cafés that violate the policies, while rewards should be given to those
who comply with the regulations.
