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. :)
