Comment: Thanks, and you'd be right about that tv.

Pulled the plug in 1988. Not that I had a choice. It was a pre-requisite for the N/K program at the elementary school I wanted my older son enrolled in: zero media at home, no if's, and's, or but's (what was tv, movies, and videos then, what would soon become tv, movies, videos, video games, hand-held electronic games, and computer games or other computer use). The media proviso didn't apply to parents. Nonetheless, it more or less set the tone; only once in a blue moon I'd watch something after my children were asleep. As of elementary grades, it was strongly recommended that media use be limited to weekends only. But by the time one child would have been "allowed to" watch, there was a second child who was to still have none. And the truth is, with tv not a part of our family routine for a few years there, other routines simply became established. It just never became a part of our daily lives. At some point we started to watch movies on the weekends. But that was about it. Yup P Nicholson. We're a bunch of free thinkers here.:)
