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?

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.
