yes you might think. it happens in other CCAs too. but one must take into consideration how highly addictive computer games can be and because of that children will have a hard time balancing their priorities since now they have a VALID excuse to play the computer. But i do highly suggest a CCA of this type in a higher education level kind of environment. That's because the kids become more mature and hopefully able to get their priorities right and to balance training for competitions and their school work.

that can happen whether it's in the classroom or not. At least having a supervisor means their playing time gets some structure and supervision. Your example is basically a kid lying to their parents. When I was 12, I told them I was going homework when I was chatting on MSN messenger instead.
