So, what can parents do? Challenges like funding, accommodating a large immigrant population, and addressing special needs are significant obstacles without a simple solution. Yet, there's one drastic step parents can take that might impact the entire Orange County Schools community?"turning off the television during school weeks.
The Challenge of Change
For those considering this lifestyle change, don't throw the remote just yet. Although many families may reject this idea, it’s crucial for the academic and future success of your children. Television can sap energy and attention, regardless of your child's age. Instead of engaging in productive activities, kids might receive negative messages, become sedentary, overeat junk food, and grow irritable. Such habits contribute to declining test scores and behavior issues.
A New Routine for Orange County Schools
While there are no government initiatives pushing families to reduce TV time, parents hold the power to implement this change. You might be busy and tired after a long day, and TV may seem like a convenient escape. But consider your family's routine?"homework, dinner, and evening activities. What if TV wasn't a part of it? Could your children enjoy earlier bedtimes, more sleep, and enhanced learning? Would there be time for reading, walking, or playing games together?
If you’re committed to improving outcomes in Orange County Schools, try this experiment for a month: no TV on school nights. Aren’t your children worth this investment?
