Do you want to ruin your child by putting them in front of the television? Recent studies from all over the world show how badly television can affect a child’s growth physically and mentally. Television is a negative influence on kids and therefore TV watching must be limited.
This essay was written by a student in Katherine Cohen’s 7th-grade English class at Greenberg Elementary in Northeast Philadelphia. The students were assigned the task of writing a persuasive letter. Some of those letters have been revised by the students and submitted to be published in various Philadelphia media outlets.

First, TV is a bad influence on kids, because children who watch more TV are more likely to be overweight. For example, researchers Klesges, Shelton, and Klesges found that while watching television, the metabolic rate is slower than when just resting. This implies that an individual would burn fewer calories watching TV than when simply sitting silently, doing nothing.
