title: Television and School Performance.
abstract: Although the question of whether television harms, helps, or has no effect on school performance has engaged researchers for many years, the answer remains elusive. Before-after studies and survey studies are controversial in terms of both interpretation and methodology. The author argues for integration of television into the curriculum to take advantage of its unique potential for democratization.
