  Case: Too much television and internet
It seems to me that my 6th graders watch too much television and spend too much time "surfing the Net". Is there anything I can do about this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would encourage the students to read more and to find something that is going to stimulate their minds. In my internships, I have found that assigning students to read and to record what they have read is a great way to have students spend more time in books and not surfing the wed and watching TV. Once you have found something that has sparked the students interest in reading, they will find other books that will have them enjoy reading. I would send home letters to parents to help encourage their child to read or watch something that is at least educational.

Comments: I agree, finding something students enjoy like reading, painting, etc. to get them to limit internet/ TV use is the best way to approach this issue.
