The group has done a survey asking teachers about the effects of their students use of entertainment media. Entertainment media was defined as the TV shows, music, video games that students use for fun. Many teachers said they believe media use has hurt academic performance, which in some cases is already not very strong. Vicky Rideout wrote the report for Common Sense Media. “We have merely four in ten students feel poor at reading, at oral communication and more than that thing the students wrongly fear report writing. So we need to make sure that everything kids are doing is helping to accelerate progress and not preventing it.” The survey involved 685 teachers around the country. 71% of the teachers said they believe entertainment media has reduced students ability to pay attention in class. And almost 60% said it has hurt their writing skills. Many teachers thought it has negatively affected students ideas about boys and girls relationship. Many also thought it encourages aggression and anti-social behavior. Teachers who describe themselves as uncomfortable with new technologies were more likely than other teachers to see destructive effects of media use on social development. But not all effects of media use were seen as bad. Almost two thirds of teachers said it also helps the students ability to find information quickly and efficiently. And one third said using entertainment media has helped their students to multitask (同时执行多项任务) effectively. Only 25% said it just has hurt them. Teachers who consider themselves as techsavvy (科技通) were more likely than others to see an advantage to students creativity from the use of entertainment media. Vicky Rideout said teachers accept that the way students spend their time and how they like to learn has changed. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。美国的Common Sense Media通过询问老师来调查
