The simpsons
As we know, the Simpsons, it is a popular animation in America. The significant concept of this story is yellow skin. All of characters have a yellow skin. This animation is about the life of middle class in America. It is really funny. Moreover, it is suitable for education because the main point consist of political, traditional and standard of living. It is also the way to improve our English.
Although it is a nice medium, some people don’t agree with it. More than 400 people have signed a group of people who oppose it. They don’t want the Simpsons to be one of lessons in class because of wasting of time. Parent Joseph Reynolds said it was not the right quality of learning material for his daughter and her classmates. He doesn't think it is strong enough content. In addition, the attitude of teacher is very different from parent. Andy Dunnett, the school's assistant head teacher, said work on the cartoon took place in Year Eight as part of a "broad, balanced and various" curriculum. He indicated that studying the Simpsons can improve skill as critical thinkers and students are encouraged to look at the text skill in text.
For me, if I were student there, I prefer to study it. Our world is busy. Other medium is maybe hard to understand for children. This animation isn’t boring and we can get many advantages such as news, sport and knowledge.
Interesting comments. It is good to reflect how we get educated and what we should learn. (2)
