T elevision can be a very powerful learning tool. It is being used more and more in the classroom to inform students and stimulate discussion.
Teachers often assign students to watch an educational television show as homework.
Television can be used to add to what is being studied at school. As a parent, you can also use television to teach ideas and values that are important to you. Limit television viewing time. Remember that when children watch television it takes them away from other things such as homework, sports, and fun with friends and family. Monitor what your children watch.
