I can see why people would have trouble deciding whether books is better than TV, but honestly I think they both have their ups and their downs. They both help towards children's learning in different aspects and in some subjects one is better than the other.

Books: I think that you can find books for any subject if you look which is definitely an upside of books. In the library all you need to do is to look for your certain subject and you can learn. The books range from learning a language to learning about the solar system. This is very good for students that need to fill in on certain area's of school. Reading books are also very good for widening your vocabulary and learning new words. Reading books can also be very fun and you can really get stuck into a book. It also slows your mind down so that you will get to sleep easily. The only problem is not everyone likes reading and it is very time consuming.

TV: TV can also be very good for learning different subjects, there are whole channels for different subjects like History, Geography and Science. People tend to remember things better after watching the TV because it is almost all visual which a lot of people learn well off. TV shows often use examples and show you how things work and why different thing happen or have happened. The only problems are it races your brain making it hard to get to sleep, and to much of it is not good for you. 

After looking at the pro's and con's for both Books and TV, I think in my opinion that reading books is better for learning and for recreational reading. It can also be very fun if you are reading a book that you really enjoy.
