Paper Summary:

This paper uses research from both sociological studies and medical studies to support the position that watching too much television impedes a child's intellectual growth and school performance and negatively affects family and social life.

From the Paper:

"Whatever the reason for the relative paucity of recent hard information about the effects of TV on academic performance, this also is clear: TV does affect the lives, behaviors, and cognitive skills of children in a classically negative way. Classically negative? If one wants to measure academic achievement by ability to read and comprehend, and possibly create original written/spoken work, then TV's effect is negative."
