TV Turnoff Week! (April 24-30, 2006)
All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching? ~Nicholas Johnson
"I find television very educational. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." -Groucho Marx "Given
our national television habit, it is no surprise that we are raising
the most sedentary and most overweight generation of youngsters in
American history. As they grow, these children will run increased risks
of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems -- unless they
turn off the tube and become physically active." -US Surgeon General David Satcher "Television is a chewing gum for the eyes." -Frank Lloyd Wright "Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn't help develop language skills; it's simply background noise." -First Lady Laura Bush More Quotations for TV Turnoff Week: http://www.quotegarden.com/tv-turnoff-week.html
