Sesame Street Begins Teaching Math and Science

Posted by Soulskill on from the c-is-for-cookie dept.

An anonymous reader sends in this excerpt from ABC News: "This season of 'Sesame Street,' which premiered today, has added a few new things to its usual mix of song, dance and educational lessons. In its 42nd season, the preschool educational series is tackling math, science, technology, and engineering — all problem areas for America's students — in hopes of helping kids measure up. ... This season, 'Sesame Street' will include age-appropriate experimentation — even the orange monster Murray will conduct science experiments in a recurring feature."

      Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.

    I can see the Count now: "The number of the day is 3, Point, 1, 4, 1, 5, *ha ha ha*, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, *ha ha ha*, 5....."

    Much, much later in the episode....

    Count (very tired): "... 2... 8... 1.... 3... ah, I quit!" (collapses from exhaustion)
