It
is well known that the role of parents is crucial for students‘ academic
achievement. Some people believe that a television is not good for students to
concentrate on study, so they argue that parents should prevent their children
from watching it. However, I think it is not good to prohibit for children to
watch television for the following reasons.
To
begin with, students need time to take a rest, and watching television is good
way. Albeit there are so many alternatives, enormous number of people can
relieve their stress and relax with watching television. Now, as a student in
master’s degree course, I have studied more than seventeen years, so I have a
lot of experience of study. In the light of my experience, taking rest is a
really important part for a high academic performance. When I was middle school
student, I did my best to get a good grade in my mid-term exam. I did not relax
just for an hour during the day. However, the result was worse than I hoped. It
was because I was so exhausted. After the experience, I started watching
television just about an hour for a day when I needed to relax, and the result
was good. My personal example apparently shows that taking a rest is crucial
for an academic achievement, and watching television can be one of the good way
to take a rest. In this regard, I disagree with the idea that parents should
prevent their children from watching television.
On
top of that, it can make children feel confined to force them not to do
something. All students are getting a lot of stress from their school lives, so
they want to feel free when they have a free time. In this circumstance,
prohibiting them to do what they want might be a kind of depression. As a
results, they can do not try hard anymore to study. I agree with the idea that
some disciplines or regulations are required to make our children grow up to be
good people. However, it does not mean that we have to control all their
behaviors. Sometimes, they need time to act by themselves. It will let them
feel themselves as an independent person. In a democratic society of our own,
all of us including children want to be regarded as an independent person.
Therefore, I strongly believe that parents should not prohibit their children to
enjoy television.
In
brief, not only do student need time to take a rest with watching television,
but also forcing them not to watch it can make them depressed. Therefore, I
think parents should not avoid letting them watch television. |
