[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, we weren’t allowed in the house let alone, watching TV all day. Even if we did, we didn’t have cable so 4 channels (and only 1 TV).[/quote] What! Everyone I know watched tons of TV. We were latchkeys kids. Parents worked. We had the house to ourselves. I watch Oprah every day after school, plus hours of MTV. I had my favorite TV shows- Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place on Wednesdays. Friends, Seinfeld on Thursday’s. When I was younger I watched hours of TV on weekend mornings, plus evening TV with Cheers, Cosby Show, Family Ties, Who’s the Boss…I could go on and on… I also read a ton, and spent time exploring with friends. I never had a tutor and didn’t do any extracurriculars until high school. I agree that education was also better, with the exception of math, sciences and engineering, which are clearly better now. [/quote] This is my exact experience in NJ (suburban NYC) in the 80’s. I’m a doctor now. [/quote]
