Cartoons have now become part and parcel of children lives. The first thing most children do after school is to sit in front of a TV to watch cartoons. There are several cartoon channels now on TV than ever. Most children come home from school and there will be no one at home, their parents will be gone. Children are now being educated by what they watch from these cartoons. Is the watching of cartoons helping in the up brining of kids? Some of the cartoons do give good education and deos teach the child some good things, but it's not all the channels that show good and educative cartoons. Cartoons are becoming so popular that now movie stars like Will Smith and others are making movie in a form of cartoons.
Due to cartoon watching most children do not do their home work from school and this I think affects their performance in school. They do not have time to do anything aside watching cartoons when they come home from school. There is a saying that "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work too make Jack a lazy boy". So eventhough, watching cartoons help the kids in some way, it deos not help them in every way or everything they need to know.
