My girls went to a Waldorf school last year. One of the requirements was no TV. We never stuck with it 100% but we did truly limit it! I observed their imaginations florish and they have much more desire to read. Although they are not in a Waldorf school now, I find them saying things such as "TV is boring." I'm glad!
I think that if/when TV takes away from family interaction it is bad. We turn off the TV every night at dinner and spend time conversing! I want my kids to know how to carry on conversations and be social -- not be glued to a machine.
As a teacher, I definitely agree that tv teaches kids to have short attention spans. I also HATE the "have to have" attitude that comes from commercials. We've spend a lot of time talking about actors and their jobs vs. reality.
