EVALUATE CHILDREN'S TELEVISION PROGRAMS Bducational television pro grams for children have re- ceived praise and criticism, And rightly so, says James Van Horn, Extension family life specialist at Penn State, Television is a teaching tool today and that’s why it's important to look at both its pros and cons. Critics range from social workers and au thors to educators. They claim that some children’s programs are discouraging the development of any length in the attention span of the child viewing the pro- gram. This is because con- tent is given in such short and choppy form.

Mr. Van Horn urges par- ents to comment to producers on the programs their child- ren watch, Educators are al- ways willing to take a look at their teaching methods and- make any improvements possible. And educational tel- evision is just as willing to perfect their techniques as the classroom teacher is.
