It is said that children will learn better when they regularly watch TV so they should watch TV more in school and at home. I disagree with this idea because of some following reasons.
Firstly, sitting in front of TV screens for too long is detrimental to children’s health. Many kids these days suffer from various health problems such as obesity, eye strain or fatigue due to prolonged television watching. The high rate of short-seeing children is an alarm for society about watching TV regularly. Another reason is that heavy exposure to violent movies can put a child at a higher risk of violent behaviour, which could ruin their future.
Secondly, children can learn more effectively through many activities other than sitting in front of TV. Schools can organize picnics to help children learn many other soft skills. This can connect children with nature and love the things around them more. In addition, this activity also contributes to promoting creativity, team spirit, solidarity, mutual help ... Therefore, it is easy to see that children can learn a lot through useful activities other than watching TV.
To sum up, I think that children should do other activities to learn more effectively instead of watching TV too much in school and at home.
