If children want to do well at school, parents should limit their hours of watching TV programs or movies.
I bet that many people have attributed their children's bad academic performance in school to watching TV programs or movies, because those parents deem that watching TV programs or movies has taken children too much time that children could otherwise use for studying, and some programs and movies are not suitable for children. However, as far as I am concerned, TV programs or movies should not be entirely responsible.
Admittedly, watching TV programs or movies does waste children lots of time. Many children cannot resist the temptation of cartoons and some other entertainment program, they even do not like to finish their assignments and review what they have been taught in class. As a result, children cannot perform well in school.
However, people can not blame TV programs or movies for wasting children's time. Life is colorful and full of choices, if children are not allowed to watch TV, they could still do some other things that still waste much time, such as playing the World of Warcraft. On the other hand, children cannot stay with their parents permanently and, one day, they will leave their parents and live alone. Therefore, I believe, the most significant thing parents should do is to exercise their children's will power, rather than always limit their children’s behavior. Will power is positive and creative function of mind which impels propel and enables people to do chosen actions in a definitive way, and avoid doing unchosen actions in a equally definitive way. It is that power of mind that enables people to do what they know to be right and not to do what they know to be wrong. Only with strong will power can children do well in school.
People, who disagree with me, like to invoke an image of the children, sitting in front of the screen, not speaking or thinking because the idiotic programs have turned their brains to mush. However, it is superficial to dismiss all of the television's content as garbage. In fact, there are plenty of scientific, historic programs. For instance, children could learn that how the universe originates, or know something about the American Civil War, by watching Discovery Channel, which focus primarily on popular science, technology and history. Another excellent program is Sesame Street, which is a huge innovation in children's education, by using a strong visual style, fast-moving action, humor, and music as well as animation and live-action short films, it helps children to learn efficiently.
By and large, parents should pay more attention to exercise their children’s will power, and conduct them to watch some educational TV programs and movies. |
