about such pop shows as Who's the Boss?

promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us
thought Ethan could do it, but he did quite well. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the
biggest he could find.

up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are

actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle
over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should he despite decades of reforms and budget increases.
