There is a common belief that watching television helps students study effectively; however, this method should be encouraged to watch television daily at home and at school. I completely disagree with the idea that children should watch tv extensively, i believe it would be better for children to learn with a limited screen time.
Firstly, watching too much TV will cause a lack of concentration. Television provides variant programmes such as entertaining, advertising and violent programmes as well. By watching these shows, children may become distracted and lose the ability to focus in their academic field. For example, children get addicted and unfocused by watching visual media regularly that negatively affects their studies. As a result, they may fail to make a good result due to lack of mental focus. Secondly, excessive television watching can reduce children’s opportunities for social interaction. TV cannot provide direct communication, discussion or feedback like teachers. Therefore, limited screen time would be useful for children learning at home and at school.
Regular watch of visual media can cause serious health problems such as obesity, poor eyesight and back pain. If a child shares screen everyday at home and at school, he may gain overweight and back pain from sitting for a long time. For this reason, they may face critical health issues in the future. In addition, young children may dispoil from outdoor activities and hobbies because of extreme watch of TV. As they spend more time on the visual screen, they may spend less time playing outside, reading books or doing field work. As a consequence, young children may become less creative and productive because they spend less time practicing in outdoor activities. For example, playing outdoor games allows children to develop problem-solving skills, teamwork and imagination. However, excessive TV watching may prevent them from enjoying these activities.
In conclusion, considering the factors discussed above, I disagree with the statement that children should watch television regularly for learning. Instead limited screen time would be beneficial for their overall development.
