▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that parents have to restrict their children to watch television because it lets them to study harder. However, I personally agree with the idea for two subsequent reasons. Firstly, watching television consumes a lot of time. Secondly, it is more likely to make student be interest in other things except for studying.
To begin with, Children should spend their time in studying and watching television is a waste of time. However, they could not control their mind because they were yet not mature. There is an old saying "Time is gold". This proverb emphasizes the value of time and this cannot be more true in modern society. Saving time means that they can do a lot more things later. Many people say that life is not fair but come to think of it, everyone has 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. According to a recent survey done my Korea university professor Kim, 80 of respondents who were students having good performances in grades said that their parents were limiting them to watching television. This clearly shows that their parents’ action caused them to study harder.
On top of that, there are many interest things in TV such as comedy and sport, which is not relevant with studying. These things could entice the children to other way rather than studying. Let me bring up my personal story as an example. When I was in high school, I loved to watch music programs and the interest made me want to be a singer. This was due to the fact that I enjoyed singing together while watching television with my parents. Eventually, I didn't study harder and end up failing into a great university. If my parents kept me from watching television, I could get into the good university. In conclusion, limiting children to watch television could help not only learn to regulate their time, but also preclude them from enticement. In this regard, it is important for parents to let children away from television in order to force children to study harder.
