9/23 students have tvs
8/23 students have rules at home about TV.
Most students agreed that the rating system is just a hassle, not a guide. The exeption was that a student explained that when she baby-sits, she pays attention because little kids can pick up (bad) words easily and she doesn’t want the kids to start saying bad words when the parents get home.
“When does a rating system become censorship?” asked a student.
Parents should be responsible for monitoring the tv habits of children and they should not be allowed to” stay up until 4 AM.” said a student.
“The tv rating system and video game rating system are different. TV ratings go into more depth. So many students can buy mature games and watch adult TV. Why have a rule anyway?”
Homework: Bring in magazines and do the tv advertisement worksheet.
