So today (for a very long and random reason) I took a poll of students in my classroom who had 2 TVs in their bedrooms... about 7 of them did. Seven 2nd grade students (ages 7-8 years old) had TWO TVs in their bedroom. I cannot wrap my mind around that one.
After that I asked how many of them did NOT have a TV in their room... only two students (out of 21) raised their hand.
I never had a TV in my bedroom, not once. I know times have changed but still... it certainly explains some of the grades these kids get.
I don't think I'd let my child have a TV in their room, at least not until they were teenagers and even then... granted, I don't have any children so maybe I'm being naive... but am I alone in this way of thinking?
