The content of the games being played could definitely have a factor in how a child performs in school, and how aggressive they are towards peers and teachers.

The graphics in games now make the game almost look as if it were real life. That has brought the video game industry a lot more players and part of those new gamers are young children. The issue is when a child is presented with a violent video game that has really good graphics the child has a better understanding of what is going on in that game.
