Children can learn effectively through watching TV. Therefore children should be encouraged to watch TV regularly both at home and at school. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Television

is very common nowadays. Almost every home owns one. Surprisingly, some schools

also

have

television

sets mounted on the walls of their classrooms. It is speculated that young ones are able to learn effectively when they watch

television

.

However

, I disagree that they should be allowed to watch TV regularly at home and in school. In

this

essay, I will explain why.

First

, there is no doubt

children

love to watch

television

and

children

learn faster from things they like. It is

also

true that

children

learn quickly when the material comes in images and colours, colors attract youngsters.

For example

, pictures of animals tend to stick in the minds of

children

when they see them on TVs than when they see them in

books

.

Therefore

, regular watching of

television

could ensure effective learning.

However

, not all programs on TVs are educative. Televisions are mainly to entertain. It is a bad idea to substitute

books

for

television

viewing to educate

children

. When

children

sit in front of a

television

, whatever they see on it is fun and their minds do not tell them to learn.

For instance

, with animations that recite the English alphabet,

children

watch and recite along for fun and not to study the alphabet.

This

doesn't prove effective learning. In conclusion, televisions shouldn't be used for educational purposes in place of

books

.

Children

can watch

television

to back up what they have already studied in their

books

though.

Children

should be made to watch

television

after learning to release stress.
