Although kids should be able to have a T.V. in there rooms some may argue they should not. For example, the kids could stay up all night and watch T.V. However if the kid is responsible and honest he/she would only watch it when they are allowed. I think that trustworthy people should be able to have a T.V in their room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you may think it's good to have a TV in your room well you shouldn't. Some may say it's good to have a TV in your room because you could stay up and watch without your parents knowing. However it's bad because if you watch to much it can rot your brain and give you nightmares. That's why I think you shouldn't have a TV in your room.

For example it is not fair to some kids because their parents have a TV in their room. Another reason is that it can fill up a lot of your time. Lastly if you can't go to sleep you can watch to help you go to sleep., That is why I think kids should have a TV in their room.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should all have a T.V. in their rooms, but some may argue that they should not. For example, if the parents aren't watching them they may go on bad channels. Kids might also stay up late watching T.V. However, parents should trust their kid not to go to bad channels, or they could keep a close watch on the kids. If the kids stay up late watching T.V. and the parents see them, the parents could take away their T.V. I think all kids should have a T.V. in their room!

That is why i think I should have a T.V in my room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think I should be able to have a T.V. in my room, some may argue I should not. For example, I may stay up too late on a school night.

They could maybe watch TV past their bedtime if no one was watching. Or they would stay in their room all day watching TV in their bedroom. But I think you should have a TV in your bedroom. However, they could learn stuff on TV. You wouldn't worry about what they're watching because, you can lock channels. Or if you have a responsible kid. You can trust them to have a TV in their room and not worry about anything. But if you have a non responsible kid. That is why I think you should have a TV in your room. But if you have a non responsible kid. You can give them a chance to have a TV in their room. But you might want to be more careful. If a kid has a TV in their room. You can always make a rule about it.

Also, they could be watching shows they are not aloud to at night. I think that a kid should have a T.v in his room becuase he could watch the shows he wants to without having to share. Also, it gives you something to do at night if you are bored. I support letting a kid have a T.V in his room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think you should have a T.V. in your some may argue. For example, I think you should have a T.V. in your room because it lets you watch a show that your family might not want to watch on the main T.V.But some may say it makes you and your family farther a part.That is why I think you should have a T.V. in your room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Kids should have T.V.'s in there rooms,some may argue that T.V. hurts your eyes.For example,if you watch too much T.V. you will make your eyes hurt and strain your eyes.If that happens you get headaches.But T.V. gives you information and makes you laugh.Children should have T.V.'s in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think children should have a T.V. in their room, some people may argue that kids shouldn't have a T.V. in their room. For example, kids will be watching it all the time instead of doing something else. Also, it makes kids think that it is okay to watch T.V. all the time. However, if kids do have a T.V. in their room, the adults won't be bothered by all the noise. Also, it will teach kids to be independent and learn when you certain things. That is why I think kids should have a T.V. in their room.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think you should have a T.V. in your room some may argue that you should not. Some people may say that if you have a T.V. in your room you will always watch it. However I think you should because parents may believe that you would not watch it all the time. Some people may think that kid having a T.V in their room is bonkers, but to me having A T.V in your room is not!!!
ReplyDeleteI think T.V. in your room is good but some may argue that it isn't. For example, if you have a TV in your room and your about to go to bed you can keep the TV on and not sleep. But when they wake up the next morning they will be grumpy and tired. But I think a TV in your room is a great idea because if someone in your family and watching a show and you don't wan't to watch it you can go up to your room and watch another show. I think a TV in your room is great cause you can watch what you wan't to watch.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should be able to have a TV in their room, some may argue that kids should not. For example, I think that you should be able to have a TV in your because if there is a program that only the older child is aloud to watch they may watch it without their younger sibling getting any bad info. But if you have a TV in your living room you are not able to watch the show unless your younger sibling is not home. Another reason I think kids should have a TV in their room is because you can test their trust by seeing if they will listen to the rules about when it is not okay to watch it and when it is. But then again your younger sibling gets in the way by whining to get to either watch it with you or get one of their own. That is why I think that kids should have a TV in their room.

For example, If you stayed up to late while watching TV You could just wake up later in the morning. And your parents could watch their show like my mom wants to watch Dowton abbey. And I think I should have the rights of having a TV in your room. And that is why I think you should have any type of TV in your own room where your siblings can,t watch anything.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think you should have a TV in your room, others may argue that they shouldn't because it puts bad things into your mind. For example, some kind of show could pop up and it could be one that their parents don't want them watching. For example, one time a bad show came on and I knew that my parents didn't want me watching, so I just watched a few minutes of it and I still got nightmares. However, I do think you should have a TV in your room because if your family is hogging all the TV's, it would be nice to have one that only you can use. Having a TV in your room is something children should be able to have.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think you should have a T.V. in your room some people may argue that you should not have a T.V. in your room because they could watch T.V. whenever they wanted to and that could hurt your brain.Also at night It would make a lot of sound while your parents are sleeping.Although some may think that you should not have a T.V. in your room I think you should.For example,if you are sick and have to stay in bed it would give you something to do.Also if your favorite sports team is playing really late then you could watch them on your T.V. in your room.Lastly I think you should have a T.V. in your room because you could see something on T.V. that you want to get your mom or dad for their birthday.That is why I think you should have a T.V. in your room.

For example, If their mom asks them to go do their homework in their room they might go and watch TV instead. Also If they are supposed to go to bed and they hava a TV in their room they might stay up late watching it. They also might watch shows that thay are not allowed to watch. I think kids should have a TV in their room because you can lock channels that are bad. Another reason I think that kids should have TVs in their rooms is because you can have a TV when you parents are watching the news. My last reason that I think kids should have a TV in their rooms is because if your brother is playing video games you have your own TV to watch. That is why I think that kids should have TVs in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have a T.V. in your room some may argue that Kids should not because some parents are worried that their kids may watch to much or stay up to late watching T.V. I think only you should have a T.V in your if you listen to your parents and if you don't always listen to you your parents can always lock some channels. Kids should have a T.V in their room because parents can put a time how long you can watch and your parents can put a rule for T.V

Also they might watch shows that they aren't aloud to watch, they also might have the volume up to loud and ether wake up a family member or keep up a family member. However I think kids should have T.Vs in their rooms. For example, it gives us something to do when we are board and then we don't have to fight with siblings for the remote. Also we might be able to watch more shows then younger siblings and your parents might have T.Vs in their and some people might think that it is on fair. Last you can watch it without bothering anyone if you shut your door. That is why I think kids should have T.Vs in their rooms.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think kids should have a t.v., some people think that t.v. is bad for you. For Example it can make you brain rot also, some people say that the can't trust kids with t.v. . I think after a long day at school or, maybe just a lot of work you want to sit down and watch t.v. but, your brother wants to watch something else you can just go to your room and watch something there with no trouble at all. I also, think that kids should have a t.v. in there room but they should make the money so they have worked hard for it then a kid should have anything in his room. That's why I think a kid should have a t.v. in hers or his room and, I am shore that the parents can appreciate some independent time.

But some may argue that T.V. is good to watch in your room for example, you get to watch T.V. when you are not tiered. that is why I think that watching T.V. in your room.

Another reason, I think kids should have T.V.'s in their room's is it is fun to watch a T.V. at night or at a sleepover as long as they watch the right things,not be noisy, and turn it off at a good time.That is why I think kids should have T.V.'s in their rooms.
