Isolating children from TV

Yes I believe that if all the TV’s where unplugged in America children would be healthier, more independent and better educated. Kids would be better educated because instead of watching TV they would go outside play basketball, hide and seek or even race. If they do that then they will be in shape and even loose a little weight. In a sense it would make kids more independent because they wouldn’t look at TV commercials and saying that they want to be just like a particular artist. They would be better educated because they wouldn’t be steered the wrong way by seeing inappropriate things on TV.
I also don’t agree because if all TV’s were off what would kids watch? On TV there are still educational shows and cartoons for kids. At the end of the day kids still need to be kids and watch kid shows. On TV there are educational shows that are good for a kid that tells then about colors and shapes. There are good shows on television that kids can benefit from wither parents believe it or not. If parents truly don’t want their kids to watch television then they should block those channels so there kids won’t watch the inappropriate shows. As long as your kids know right from wrong and they are well disciplined, and parents block channels then that’s all that they can do, if they want their kids to somewhat have a normal kid life. Keeping kids isolated from TV wouldn’t make their relationship better with their parents; it would make them not only isolated from TV but from their parents as well.
