STUDY HOURS = NO TV?!?

i read this article from The Jakarta Post today. the new mayor of Semarang said that parents should turn off the TV while study hours like 6.30 PM - 9.30. when i read that i thought it's very overreacted! i mean, students still need to relax and chill. our job as a student is to study. but we're human too, we need to be relax and have some fun too right? well, it's just my thought....
here's the article :

"New Semarang mayor Soemarmo Hadi Saputro launched on Saturday compulsory studying hours for children, calling on parents to support the program.

The mayor said he expected parents to switch off television, take away their children’s toys and accompany them during the studying hours at between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"Parents need to monitor and accompany their children while they are studying,” he said as quoted by Antara news agency.

He told parents to firmly ask their children to stay at home and study during the designated period. “Parents have to introduce a regulation on time to play and time to study so that children can learn about discipline,” the mayor said.

He believes parents’ support for the program would help the Central Java capital generate a quality generation."

well, well, well, i obviously don't want it.....
