The Effect T.V. Has On Grades
(Hook) There is a steaming controversy going on in the world today about the effect that television has on the grades of school kids. (Gen. Disc.) Some people think such a connection is absurd and grades are purely the responsibility of the individual person. However, television definitely affects grades. (Thesis) Television keeps kids from doing their homework, it gives them bad ideas and role models, and it can make them stay up later than they should so that they are tired the next day at school. (TS) To begin with, television has a tremendous effect on kids’ grades because it serves as a vehicle for procrastination and distraction. (1 st pt.) First, it can keep kids from doing their homework all together. (Ex.) Many times, kids will be watching a show and decide to put off their homework until the program is over. Then, when the show is over, they either want to watch another show, or it is too late to do homework and they go to bed. (2 nd pt.) Second, a lot of kids do their homework while watching T.V. (Ex.) This could cause them to mess up or just do a rushed job, which will leave them with a lower grade than intended. (CS) Therefore, watching television and homework just don't mix. (TS) Moreover, television shows portray negative influences on kids in two ways. (1 st pt.) To start with, watching TV can give kids bad ideas that can affect their grades. (Ex.) A lot of T.V. programs can make doing drugs and skipping school sound very cool. So the kids who copy these behaviors end up missing the learning and work in school. (2 nd pt.) Next, there are also many bad role models portrayed on T.V. (Ex.) Beavis and Butthead, for instance, promote vulgar language and absurd gestures for young children. Kids in turn model these actions in school and get suspended, causing them to get zeros for the days they are out of school. (CS) In summary, unless television starts to portray better ideas and more qualified role models, the grades of children everywhere will continue to drop. Download 0.99 Mb.
