Children learning from television by Dominic Dijamco(FGCU)
Because of studies conducted showing that American children watch about 1,500 hours of television per year, it is a big factor in forming their social views. In regards to”Television for Kids”by Dan Langfelder , I agree that some television shows have become increasingly violent but many children shows have also become more educational. Because of the statistics that show the increasing number of television watched by children, the creators of shows have created more educational shows and shows that help teach morals. New children shows such as Dora the Explorer entertain and educate weather some kids may know it or not.

A lot of adults think that it is not good for young people to watch television a lot because it can get them lazy and there are better things they can spend their time on. I agree with those adults, but I do think that young children watching television is an excellent idea. I do not agree with many parents and babysitters decisions to place their child in front of the television every chance they get, but since they are going to do it anyway then at least they can make something useful out of it by putting something educational on. Some programs teach basic Spanish, math, reading, and etc. Children do learn a lot from educational programs.
