It tells me that a television show these days must entertain as well as educate.
Unfortunately no matter how hard I try to get my son to watch this show, he
simply will not. He has been able to read since he was three, but finds this
show horribly boaring, and I have to admit I can't disagree. As a parent I love
the show because it introduced new childrens books that I often purchased, but
it really wasn't paced with kids in mind, too bad.
Aside, I don't know if it's relavent but why do they show the spelling bee on
ESPN? I am happy that it is televised and publicized, but it is not a sport.
There has got to be a more appropriate channel.
