Dina Borzekowski made a study of a group of third-grade students from six American schools.
During a school year, nearly 400 students and their parents were asked to report on whether they had
such things as televisions and computers in the home, as well as how often the child used them. The
children's language ability was tested twice over the year. Children who had a television set in the bedroombut did not have a computer at home scored
the lowest, while tudents without TV n the bedroom but with a computer at home scored
the highest. Students who had a television in the bedroom over the school year scored lower than those who had their TV taken away
during the same time.
"This study suggests that taking TV sets out of children's bedrooms, or not putting them there,
may be helpful," said Borzekowski. "While this study does not prove that bedroom TV was
the reason for the lower test scores, it suggests that children shouldn't have TV in their bedrooms. It
also suggests that a home computer may help a child's test scores. The best way was having both: no
TV in the bedroom and also a home computer to use. "
