Does anybody else remember Conjunction Junction? This show is one of the best for learning grammar, and nothing has come close to matching it! Instead, cartoons and shows these days make it worse for our children. Everything is about texting these days, and shortened words that make no sense. They are destroying the English language instead of making our children learn it. What is happening as a result? Many people grow up not wanting to read, or some not even knowing how very well. Imagination is destroyed. Movies, and games - it is all laid out for them so they don't have to imagine what might happen.
Not only did School House Rock teach Grammar, but it also touched mathematics, and history as well. Hasn't anybody learned from this, enough to want to make more cartoons that can teach our children the same. They use music to a catchy tune so kids love it when they hear it. I've learned so much watching this cartoon when I was younger. It was often used in classrooms when I was younger, especially history classes. I love this show, and bought it on DVD for my son. He loves it and sings along sometimes.
Does anybody else play this cartoon for their children, and how did they do with it? Did they learn as much as I did?
