Comments on: Toxic Childhood – Read it! http://richardradio.com/2008/10/05/toxic-childhood-read-it/ Richard is a teacher of ICT in East Sussex Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:41:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: J Franklin http://richardradio.com/2008/10/05/toxic-childhood-read-it/#comment-102 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 07:25:33 +0000 http://richardradio.wordpress.com/?p=223#comment-102 I read this about a year or so ago. It goes well with remotely controlled about the effects of TV, and my all time favourite – four arguments for the elimination of TV (about 40 years old now).

I also liked How children learn which while aimed at young children I think is true for how people should dive in and muck around before (or instead of) formal methods and assessment.

But back to the theme of the post, children now have it bad. No adult interaction as the parents are at work, no decent food due to overworking parents or not enough money, television, media, consoles – alternatives to reality that are far too compelling/addictive.
