SchoolHouse Rock

    What was School House Rock?? Well It was an interesting program that strarted around the 1970's and are considered an educational way to help kids to learn about math or history or science anything.   They even had famous ones like "Conjunction Junction" which was learning about conjunctions such as "if" "or" "and" small words that would combined other words together to form a sentence.

   I grew up with these helpful VHS tapes when I was a kid to help study for stuff I needed to know such as what was 9x9 and there was 9 times table trick with a video showing cats playing pool and using the mouse as the ball. They really were into the math, but there most famous one ever was: "I'm just a bill" That one was about how a law was passed and a talking bill was singing about it voiced by Jack Sheldon who is still alive today and doing the same thing on School House Rock.
  Another one that is famous is "Three is the magic number" Bob Dorough wrote and accompanied with his vocals in the video on the subject on the multiplication of 3.

  School House Rock would go by subjects kids would try to learn. They would a Grammar Rock, Multiplication Rock, America Rock and so on and so forth. And now they have the whole video on a 30th anniversary edition and it's pretty neat, or if your kids ever wanna learn something they need to know, School House Rock is always there to help like it did me. On YouTube they have many School House Rock videos, just takes me back to my childhood.

    Even some School House Rock videos have been parodied. "Conjunction Junction" was parodied on Family Guy.  "I'm just a bill" was parodied on The Simpsons, and I think Family Guy. Still will help school kids today like it did me in the 90's and when it started in the 70's. School House Rock is for kids such as Sesame Street is meant to teach preschoolers.

     I always liked and always were enjoy many and various videos of School House Rock, especially "I'm just a Bill" Won't blog again for a while, not till after my vacation and I'll blog about that when I'm back. Till then, Caio Bloggers, and enjoy learning no matter what tool you use. :)

Anti- Bullying month

 

   Not only is October Breast cancer awareness month, it is also Anti-Bullying month. A month where we contribute against bullies that think it a great idea to pick on other people they feel it makes them feel more superior.

    It is up to us and others to stand up to bullies and their evil ways. Bullies are not to be taken lightly. Some people that have been bullied in their life have ended up hurting themselves or worse...


    I have been bullied when I was a little girl in middle school, but that never bugged me much, I never stood up to my bullies, that was the problem. Some people don't have the courage to stand up to their bullies. They feel as if they are bullied for a reason. I think it's wrong in my opinion. There are so many websites that are helping people now that have been bullied and there are support groups in a lot of states that help people who have been bullied in there lives. Even bullying on the web as well or as they call it 'cyber-bullying'

   I felt so sorry for that woman from New York who was picked on by those kids on the bus ride just because they wanted to post it on a tv show called Tosh.O. That's not right, just because they wanted to show their bullying on TV. Well they got their just deserts and that woman got so much support form so many people she even got a free vacation to Disney World which was very nice.

 Recently another woman, an anchor woman was bullied for being overweight and she stood up to herself. Kudos to her for doing something so brave and it made her feel so much better and it also made her feel as if she could do it, someone else who is being picked on can have the courage to stand up and do the right thing.

    It's hard, I agree. I didn't even know I was being bullied, or I was hurting someone, but you never know, but deep down you can tell how pain you can cause and how much it hurts. So it doesn't have to always be on October, but remember, if you see someone being bullied, do something about it. Tell someone... an adult a principal, anyone because if someone doesn't have the courage, and you do, believe me you will have the strength to do what some people are scared of doing...  Caio Bloggers for now will blog again next week, and please stop bullying.
