Do children are allow to spend time watching TV if they want do well on study? Nowadays a multitude of people tend to live under the illusion that if children want to do well on the study, they should be not allowed to watch TV or play computergames, resulting in the tendency of people limiting the time children spend on such activities. As far as I am concerned, this stereotypical opinion should be partly objected. Playing is the nature of children. If sweep out children's nature, it is detrimental for children's growth, both physically and mentally. For one thing, all parents have to admit the fact that their children have no access to watching TV during school time, except for some special occasion when it is required of them to watch a certain program by the teacher. Consequently, the only time slot for children to watch TV is after school. After school means children have already finished their courses at school. In such a case, parents are unreasonable to force their children to stay away from the TV set. On the contrary, children should have their own chance to select the activities they prefer to do. A lot of researches suggest that these children who spend their leisure time on watching TV can get good grades in their courses as well. My brother Tommy, who is 11 years old, is a student in primary school now. He once said to me that watching TV actually relaxed and energized him. Thus Tommy (is always among the top students in class. For another thing, not every cat is able to catch rat. Likewise, not every TV program has unfavorable effect on children. Until now there are several TV programs teaching children wide knowledge that can not be obtained at school, from geography to oceanography. These TV programs broadenand expand the scope of knowledge. More important, those healthy TV programs givea picture of knowledge for children in a vividly and lively way. For instance,children get insight of the different ways to survive after watching the Man vs. Wild,Discovery Channel. Man vs. Wild teaches us a lot about survival skills in the wild. Finally, If children have limited time to watch TV, they might find other way to relax, even escape from their class! This undoubtedly and directly leads to a quick decline on their study. Moreover, too much pressure is bad for children. It was recently reported on the news that some children resist to the study because of the pressure from parents.
