/^t/All children of today generation undoubtably watch TV but majority of them cannot properly estimate the value of the program they look at. Therefore, they should be taught from their first school years that television is not only fun and entertainment but also a source of knowledge. During the TV lessons pupils could be informed first of all about the variety of educational and cultural productions and where to look for them. Teachers should also talk about the role of propaganda and psychology behind the advertisements. At the higher level, it should be also useful to teach about the history of pictures and television. Discussions on the recently seen programs would help a lot in teaching pupils thinking about and analysing the surrounding reality. What is more important, stress should be put on the difference between the pictures and reality, especially in the case of young children, for they seem to have problems with that. Of course subjects and issues should be adapted to the age of pupils.
