4. EXT
Other people feel that television is bad for children. They feel that there are too many programs about crime and violence, and that even educational programs do not help a child’s education. Children simply watch too much television, and therefore they do not do a lot of other things that are important for their education. Preschool children need to learn to speak their language and communicate with people. When they are watching television they are only listening to the language, and they are not communicating with anyone. When elementary school children watch television, they read a lot less. Because of this, they do not learn to read and write as quickly at school.
