What are the costs and benefits of teaching television as a form of literature in classrooms?

Do you think that potential benefits outweigh the costs? Why or why not? Cite evidence

from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

I think that it really depends on what is being taught in the class room.

Explanation:

I say that if the teacher was showing a documentary about world war 2, then yes, the benefit of the t. v. would be to teach kids about the experiences that those soldiers faced during that time. A downfall of the usage of television in the classroom is those students who seek attention by making inappropriate comments about what they just learned.
