WASHINGTON (AFP) — Elementary school children have lower academic results when they have televisions in their bedrooms, according to a US study.
The study of 400 California third-graders by Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University released Monday also found that having a computer in the room improved student performance.
"In this study, we found that the household media environment was related to a child's academic achievement," said Dina Borzekowski, who directed the study.
