I didn't get a TV in my room until I was... 18, i think? Maybe 21? I can't remember now. I don't have a problem with parents choosing not to allow young children to have a TV in their room. I worked with a kid last year who watches TV until all hours of the night and comes to school EXHAUSTED. There's no control whatsoever and if he's not watching TV, he's playing really violent video games - ones rated M and R. The grade 7's go on a camping trip every year and his parents said he has trouble sleeping at night and would a staff member be available to sit up with him all night and talk to him. Problem is, when this kid doesn't get sleep, he's a miserable, rotten little cretin, and his parents don't seem to have made the connection between his late night habits and his behaviour, and don't listen when professionals tell them that's the problem. He's one of the reasons why I would hesitate to put a TV in a young kid's room.
