TELE YES OR NO?
While it's true that there are some absolutely awful things available on the television screen, there are also some offerings that are worthwhile. Neither of my sons own a TV which probably means that their children will never get to see Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers. Is that really a loss in their cultural education? I have to admit that watching TV is not my favorite thing to do unless I'm really tired or need a break. Would I be better off if I watched more TV? Would my grandkids be better off if they watched even a little bit of TV? I really don't think so. What's your opinion?

Yes, I really do think that there is value to watching TV, providing that it is not "garbage" TV and that one or both parents watch it WITH the children, to answer any potential questions. I teach English as a Second Language to a VERY religious Muslim family. They watch secular Arab television together, as a family.
