17.WASHINGTON---There are more than 222million TVs in American homes.And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.
Vespe is the head of the TV-Turnoff Network,the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week.
For TV Turnoff week,American children are encouraged to go one week without watching TV.This year,it runs from April 23~29."Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious(自覺的)decision,"said Vespe.
Vespe said that most of the children who go without television for a week go back to watching,but not so much."They watch more selectively.They do more things as a family.It helps them put TV in its place."
One girl who is turning off her TV is Sarah Foote,9,of Virginia.Sarah admits that it won't be too hard to give up TV.She's allowed to watch only educational television,and her favorite show from last year isn't on any more.
Of course,there are plenty of things about TV:programs can be entertaining,even educational.
Even so,some experts aren't sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.
Susan Neuman,a university educator who studies children and reading,says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their children are watching.They don't set limits on TV watching.Also,in some families,TV might be the only thing to do.
What message does Sarah have for other children?
"It's a very good idea.I spent a whole week without TV.It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV,because you don't want TV taking up all of your time."Sarah said.
