In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very
useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use
them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually, they are rarely used
properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours
watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the
teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for
equipment repairs and maintenance, so these television sets are sooner and later out of order.
Secondly these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate
television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the
quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom. Teachers at the schools work hard
for at least twelve years to train their students to become good readers. However, according
to recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books and newspapers but
watching television instead.
