ESRB Teams with PTA on New National Ratings Campaign

[MrKLM]

The ESRB is working with the Parent Teacher Association to educate parents nationwide about video game ratings, parental controls and online gaming concerns. Check it out:

In its continued efforts to educate parents about its video game ratings system, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has announced a partnership with the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to launch a new national campaign that will see an educational ratings booklet distributed to all 26,000 PTAs in the U.S. The booklet will also be available at PTA.org.

According to the ESRB, "The campaign enables and encourages PTAs to educate their community's parents about the ESRB rating system and parental control technology available on the various game systems, as well as the concerns that exist when games are played over an Internet connection and what parents can do to mitigate those concerns."

It wont change anything. Computer/Console games are robot babysitters, just like the US school system. The parents that truly care and are worried about this stuff looks into it and "usually" looks at the box in the store and can see violence all over it, without a government agency telling them that something might be bad.
