Television is a tool that can be used to learn. Therefore, children should be encouraged to watch it regularly at home and school. To what extent do you agree?

Television
shows can be useful for numerous reasons and one
such
aspect of it is that a

can enhance his learning through it
hence
, they should be motivated to view during their school and home time. I am strongly against
this
said notion and
this
will be showcased in the following paragraphs. One of the main

Furthermore
, despite the

's growth. Unequivocally, the amount of time a pupil watches the series on a small screen for learning has led to several negative aspects. One of these is, a
child
might get distracted from his academic obligations and spends more time viewing programmes that are labelled as educational shows as it does not focus on a key point for learning and

Moreover
, the teaching taught by a professional teacher in a school can not be replicated on a small screen and
thus
learning through
television
is not beneficial for a
child
. To recapitulate, I believe there are various downsides to motivating a pupil to watch
television
for learning purposes in their house and education institute
such
as, the number of channels available and the low-quality learning quotient it has

a teacher in an Institute has far more expertise in his field than any programme that claims to give information to a

and
therefore
, I strongly believe that
television
is not the best medium to learn for a
child
whether it in their home or academic setting and my view has been clearly highlighted in the paragraphs above.
