Besides
entertainment, the television also has its infotainment quotient as well, which
we all often overlook and indulge in seeing TV as something that is simply used
to idle away your productive time. TV can be a benefit to your growing child,
advice Principal of one of the top schools in Delhi NCR when
used properly by parents and children. We often forget that there is always two
sides of a story, two sides of a coin. It is a universal belief that watching
TV relentlessly makes children couch potatoes and hampers their productive and
creative time, explains a senior teacher at one of the best high
schools in Delhi. This is true to a great extent but when managed properly,

time watching cartoons and music channels. Tenured faculty in top high
schools in Delhi points out that when they watch learning the material
on TV they tend to retain the educational stuff in a better manner, for example
when they watch a documentary on wildlife on discovery channel, rather than
simply reading about it in a book.
