TV during the school week for students?

We began a “no electronics of any kind on weeknights” when my kids were in early elementary school. I have the same situation with one kid who is very organized and gets his homework done, and another who never gets started until bedtime.

In middle school, they seemed to need a little decompression, so I let them have 30 minutes of tv/electronics after school. Now they’re both in high school and the older one is still a major procrastinator. I leave them to manage their own work now, but I always worry about and nag the older one. He doesn’t watch much tv, but spends hours IMing and fussing with his itunes library.
