If TV does not affect behavior

My wife is a teacher and it is almost impossible today to teach without visual aids -- a DVD is the most effective method to get any idea into teenagers' heads. I don't think that kids are wired today to learn anything without seeing a video.

So yes TV does affect behavior otherwise we wouldn't be spending so much money producing learning videos.

I didn't say that. My statement was the corny one-liner below it. But I am a teacher too. Yes, you do need visual aids. Nonetheless, at least for my first graders, I don't use very many videos at all and they still learn quite a bit.

Kudos to your wife for going into teaching.
