Pisces'Big Brother' for Kids?
Is this okay?
The UK's BBC 4 is being highly criticized for a new kid show being compared to "Big Brother" for kids 8 to 11 years old.
The show cast 10 boys and 10 girls to create their own mini-societies. The kids have to manage and organize everything from what they eat to how they entertain themselves. The show sounds more like a version of last year's "Kid Nation." It's been said that some of the kids get in "tussles" and feel "picked on."
People in the U.K. are outraged about the show and one spokesperson for a kids' charity told the Daily Mirror: "Any situation that leaves a group of young people without the mediating presence of a responsible adult is cruel and abusive." Another expressed: "Children should not be exploited for commercial gain."
Channel 4 defended the show by saying: "It is the same kind of tussling you'd get in any playground -- but no physical violence.
Would you let you kid be on a reality show with no supervision?

What people don’t seem to comment on, is although at the time it may seem a little cruel. Afterwards, would you not agree that the children involved have learned many lessons in life, how to work as a team, how to manage money, how to lead efficiently. To me although the children may get a little upset, its just like education, the rewards will show in the future.
I am from the Uk and i have been watching the tv programme and i must say it is sooooo intersting the jist of it is that you have a group of girls 8-12 aged and the same with boys both placed into separate houses they are given money and freedom and responsabilltys that adults would have and i must say it is amazing to see how they handel themselvs and it easy to distinguish how are the natural leaders! it is nothing like Big Brother!!! It is a completely diffrent kettle of fish i suggest that you actully watch the programme before you make prosumptions about it! Its defanatly an Eye Opener, Amazing!!
