Why do children nowadays often watch TV at home instead of going out and play with nature? Because they can just lie around and watch some entertaining cartoons before dinner and don't have to run back home before dark while playing a fantastic game with friends? That's the answer. This affects adults a lot. But watching TV has its own advantages and disadvantages, too. Watching TV is a popular kind of entertainment not only for children but also for adults in the US. There're many entertaining and educational shows, too like "The way to Mount Olympia, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Let's Learn, Hello Fatty, etc." All these channels and programmes are helpful and make a fun environment for the children. They can learn more things and collect more fun facts. If they hate reading those boring books you buy, watching TV can also be a great idea. At some schools like mine, they have a TV at school, too for both teaching and entertaining. What about the disadvantages? It can make the children have some eyes problem. The light from the computer, phone, TV can be dangerous to our eyes. Some of the children at a very young age have to wear glasses because of this kind of light. Watching too much TV can make the children don't concentrate on their homework. They just concentrate on some clumsy and silly characters. So I come to a conclusion. I disagree with the idea that children should watch TV regularly both in school and at home. I completely disagree. They can watch it both at home and at school but just a little bit of time. That's my opinion.
