Children can learn effectively by watching television. Therefore they should be encouraged to watch TV regularly at home and at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#children #television #tv #home #school
There are different materials available when learning. One option proposed is by watching television daily. As
such
,
children
 are vouched to constantly watch TV not only in the comforts of their homes but
also
 in school. Personally, I do not completely agree with
this
 notion and in
this
 essay, I shall explain why. As early as childhood, learning has always been an integral aspect of one's life. May it be through reading a book or personal experience, it can not be denied that a person can learn everywhere and anywhere. 
However
, not everyone has the same method for learning and oftentimes,
children
 to be exact, learn visually. These young ones could be advised to watch educational shows to
further
 their knowledge, but despite the advantage, there should be limits to
this
. The key word here is "regularly".
Although
, at some point, learning by watching has its merits, there are always disadvantages to it like violent and explicit movies,
for instance
. If
children
 would get the chance to watch shows like
this
 all the time, their viewpoint towards life would 100 per cent change. They would most likely copy what they see and are prone to physical confrontation with their peers.  To counter
this
, allowing restrictions on television at home and school would be the best option. Fewer screen time should open up other opportunities for learning like exploration and creativity. By and large, even though educating
children
 by watching TV has its advantages, it is important to remember that
children
 are young and easily influenced.
Therefore
, as adults, we should guide them
accordingly
 so that they would not go rogue on us.
