yes.. They have lots of DVD's that are good for kids. You can even get home school with DVD's. PBS is a great channel for kids to learn. My daughter learned her ABC's from Sesame Street when she was 2. Everything in Moderation turns out to be good..

A good supplemental tool perhaps, but not a great one. Television is passive, and I believe the greatest learning occurs during active participation. To learn fractions, for example, television might be good... but math manipulatives like colored rods or parts for sets would be great.

Yes, some things would be very difficult to present in a different way, but television is often not very engaging. It's also too easy to ignore. It's easier to learn something well when you're actively participating in the process, like reading a passage and then explaining it to someone else, or solving problems.

I think it would be because when i was a kid i remember the one time we would watch TV it was like something really special because it was always so rare. It was like the only thing to look forward to besides field trips. Lol! I learn better with TV because it has more elements of interest, the best mind pictures.

Yes if it is used the right way and they are not just staring at a television all day

Yes, as long as it is not the mass media. You need programs that give both sides of an issue. Try John Stossel, he really makes the kids think.
