8.37 Kids Take on Media To provide current and factual information on the role media plays in children's lives, the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) com- missioned Erin Research to conduct definitive research on Canadian children's experience with communica- tions media. The research involved 5756 students in Grades 3 to 10 in every province and territory. This is the first survey of its size to question young people on all the media they use, what satisfaction they get from media, and whether violence in their daily media con- sumption influences their behaviour and values. According to survey results, in Grades 3 to 6, roughly 30% of kids claim they never have adult input concerning what TV shows they can watch. By Grade 6, 50% report no adult input as to how long they can watch. In Grade 8, the figures for those who experi- ence no parental supervision of their TV viewing rises to approximately 60%. On the other hand, close to 90% of children report that they watch TV with their family either "most of the time" or "sometimes," and this pattern remains fairly constant for Grades 3 to 10. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the overall proportion of children who say that they watch TV with their family either "most of the time" or "sometimes."
