Study: 1 in 5 parents think kids online too much
One in five American parents believe their kids are spending too much time on the Internet, though most say the online activities haven't affected grades either way.
In a study to be released Wednesday by the University of Southern California, 21 percent of adult Internet users with children believe the kids are online too long, compared with 11 percent in 2000. Still, that's less than the 49 percent who complain their kids watch too much TV. About 80 percent of the children say the Internet is important for schoolwork, although three-quarters of the parents say grades haven't gone up or down since they got Internet access.
