How much TV should children be allowed to watch each day?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 25, 2006
“Probably an hour a day. It's good for children to get out and get some exercise; otherwise they get fat.”
— Sandra Mayle, Kansas University junior, Lawrence
“Less than an hour, because they should be reading, talking to their family, running and playing or finding some other way to expand their minds.”
— Mike Johnson, high school coach, Lawrence
“I'm going to go with a program or two, so a half an hour to an hour. I've never been a TV fan myself. I really like being outside, and I think it comes from playing outside a lot when I was a kid.”
— Nancy Fleming, high school teacher, Ontario, Canada
“I'll say 30 minutes to an hour. That's how much I watched when I was little. They should have their days filled with other activities.”
— Peter Krofta, cook, Lawrence
