Wacky Wednesday--Television Is Good For Young Children

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~It’s educational.
~Having a healthy relationship with screens is essential in this day and age, and it’s never too early to start.
~Parents often don’t know how best to educate their children, so why not let experts guide you with their television programming?
~Children want it, parents want it, television makers want it, and advertisers want it. So what’s the problem?
~Children behave well when they are watching television.
