The devotion of a set amount of time to childrens educational
programming is a great idea.
With the rise in cable television viewers, the standard should be
placed there too.
How can we protect our children with an umbrella that is full of
holes?

Classrooms and the Internet.  With all the smut, there would have
to be some way to prevent the children from accessing it. If the
classroom Internet connections were limited to a few newsgroups,
then the true functionality of the Internet has been demolished.
Without proper regulation of the Internet, there is no way for
you, nor I as a parent, to be sure that unrelated topics or
conversations would occur.

Again, with the prevelence of cable in todays society, those
stations should also make available to TV guides the educational
value of a program.  What is tolerable in New York City is not
always viewed in the same manner as that in Billings.  The local
station, retransmitting the program, whether it is cable or
broadcast, should be the one placing the ratings/educational
values of the program.

The allotment of said airtime for educational broadcast tv, would
be a great addition, but again, cable should be required to carry
such broadcast tv in thier packages. This would ensure that the
programming was being accessable to all.


These views are of my own, I speak not for the company which I
work.
