Do you permit your studying students watch TV druing school days?

Hi mob, I have set a fixed schedule for my (2) kids for studying and watching TV during weekdays. From school they are allowed to watch TV while having their snacks, it's also allocated for their "rest" after school. After that they have to do their assignments and other projects(if any), and while doing this the TV is switched off. No one, not even myself, watches TV while they are studying. I check all their homeworks just so they wouldn't miss anything. Once they're done they can now watch TV again, until it's time to sleep, and they have to go to sleep at 9pm latest. On weekends they are allowed to spend more time watching TV and for their other activities.

yaa...i permit my studyning student watch TY during school days..because i think all time morning to evening they studying in school...and after the school if the get some time for watch TV so...it is not bad for him..and after that..they feel..fresh themself..So it is good for student.. and they will studying as fresh mind...

My kids get to watch TV but only after they have finished their homework and reviewed their lessons. We also do not allow them to watch TV til late, when it's time for sleep, they know that they have to turn off the TV and rest already. My kids are honor students. I don't know if it's really the TV that has an effect on the kids or how the parents or guardians handle and train the kids

As for me, my mom used to let us watch TV as long as we are done with school assignments and assigned task like, household chores. She let us watch with her specially when it comes to scene that needs explanation and guidance. Even watching cartoons which usually have violence, she will explains the ins and outs of what is happening. Letting kids to watch TV even on school days is beneficial if they will watch with their parents specially with their mom. Yes it is very educational. May it be good or bad, but it is thru TV will let them see the reality and fantasies of life. If they could watch TV with proper guidance from their parents, specially with their mom, they will grow up in tune with what is happening around them. Just do not let them watch alone, coz they are times, most parents let the TV the babysitter and leave it all with the TV... Smile! Remember, TV can give information but kids cannot make dialogue with them if ever they will have questions, you are need to be there for them. Cheers!

my answer of this,...my mom won't give me a permissions to watch t.v during school days because my focuses will turn on the television not in the books.

I have no problem letting my daughter watch TV on a school night. I usually let her unwind a bit with either a game, a book or a TV show. No TV while she does her homework and then when she's done she can watch her favorite cartoon or show after dinner. She DVR's (records)her shows (which are all age appropriate), so she can watch a bit of her favorite TV whenever she is allowed. As long as she is doing well in school, I don't see an issue. I was allowed to watch TV on a school night when I was her age and I always brought home excellent grades. I think the parents have to be supportive and encouraging and the child will grow up well regardless of TV watching.

When I was in school I was allowed to watch TV, as long as I got my homework donw first. Mom knew that there were shows that i liked to see in the week, that it wasn't just me sitting infront of the TV for no reason, and i was more than welcome to watch those shows, as long as i did not neglect my studies.

watching Tv builds up our mind,not always the tv is bad, their are certain programs or channels like the news channel which is very knowledgeable. but there should be a time limit for that, like 1/2 an hour or one will be fine for a day.It will make the mind of the child fresh bcoz everytime studying does not hold good for many students.

I believe that most things should be done in moderation. When we were young my parents allow us to watch TV but it is regulated and monitored. So, I do the same with my kids. I don't want my kids to be deprived of things that will help them unwind. For as long as they do their homework and give priority to their studies, watching TV during school days is fine with me. I just remember, my sister told us a story about one her classmates. She told us that when they were having chit chat about TV programs they watched this classmate of her cannot join in the conversation.When they ask her why, she said that they are not allowed to watch TV. That's one thing I don't like. I want my kids to enjoy life as they should as kids. But, I always tell them that studies come first and that they should be responsible enough to attend to it before anything else. As young as they are I teach them responsibility.

When we were young... i remember that we were allowed to watch tv during school days... but only until 8:30 pm... after that... we have to go to bed... i don't think it is wrong to let kids watch tv during school days... just as long as we parent can set limitations... like allowing them only when they finished their homework... and only till it's time to go to bed... TV programs can also help in educationg kids... it is not at all that bad or evil... like what others are saying...

hello mobhomeir, before, we are not allowing them at all during weekdays to watch tv and even teach them ourselves with all their lessons and homeworks. but we noticed that the more we're so strict to them they tend to get lower grades. and so we made a deal that if they were top ten in class, we'll give them 500 pesos, if they made it in overall 1000 pesos as their reward. since then, they strive to meet what we have agreed. and from then on, they are always in the overall. and because of this, we are allowing them to watch even during weekdays but after doing their homeworks, and reviewing their notes. we also agreed that they must be in bed at nine except during fridays and saturdays. it works to them. but then that depends of the child.

Yes. I don't like them to watch t.v. duting school days at night. Or I will allow them but in a short time only. Now i got another problem with them regarding using our internet. They do not watch tv but they are using internet for their online games and friendters. After assignment was done they go to online games or facebooks. It will last for almost two hours which is not good for them because of late to rest. And the problem arises in the following morning.

TV programs are informative and entertaining, which have become an integral part of social resources for children growth. But watching TV is too time consuming. Parents and kids need to reach a reasonable balance, by setting aside a certain period of time, or selected programs, so that students benefit from an open world, and become well informed, creative, and productive, while studying is not neglected.

Prohibiting TV is something totally stupid AND unnecessary... TV is just an excuse for bad parents... just something they say when they cant control their kids lol... "My kid became a jerk , its all this bad TV`s fault!!" "Oh my oh my , my kid became a junky , its all that damn tv`s faul!!" and so on... If you start restricting... then damn , you have to say no to computers as well , to 90% of the music and no going out to have social life for ur kid , because on the street he would learn a hell lot more swears and stuff from the other kids around than from any tv show , cuz theyre all censored... Get real , prohibiting things to your kids , especially TV only brings u to worse relationship with him/her. If you go banning things from ur children`s lives , ull have to leave him listening to only Hanah Montana (or whatever her name is written like) ...but oh wait... Even HER boyfriend is like... 9 years older ? What do you think they do when she doesnt sing huh ? xD ...do you think the children wont ask that and follow her example in getting WAY older boys ? Im telling you , when you look at it carefully , EVERYTHING is a bad influence in this world and u cant go banning everything... But u wont have to , if you're a good enough parent to set a better influence. If you teach ur kid effectively whats important and what not , it wont get affected by tv or anything... And the tv programs can be very helpful too , by setting a heroic example for the kid , to show him whats wrong and whats right... Tv alone or music alone CANT make a jerk out of your children , its bad parenting... and the sooner everyone realizes that and stops blaming the TV programs , but wonder what THEY do wrong , THEN maybe children wont be worse with every year... Now, sorry if i offended anyone or sounded offending or agressive , but thats just what i think , and i believe im right.

I, personally, would be happy if children never watched TV. I am perfectly happy without it, and all the shows that play seem very horrible. Even the ones that are supposed to be educational seem stupid for the most part or have completely irrelevant information to what children might need to know. Now, because I don't watch TV, there might be a few shows out there that are pretty good, but I am not familiar with them. Anyway, as far as I can tell, TV is usually more of a distraction than a help to studying kids, and watching TV would not help them to do better in school.
