In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets intending to use them effectively to
improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms.
Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical
school days proceed as if television did not exist. There are some explanations for the failure of
television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not
set aside money for equipment repairs and maintenance, so these television sets are sooner and later
out of work. Secondly, these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate
television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of
television and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become
good readers. However, according to recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading
books and newspapers but watching television instead.

A. the use of television at schools.
C. educational specialists.
