I could count to ten in Spanish while in Kindergarten

I learned one of my favorite songs on Sesame Street. Rubber Duckie.

Oh, gosh, what haven't I learned from them? Probably the biggest thing was the Greek alphabet. And, of course, a kickass song about the number "12" and a pinball machine.

I learned that fast-cutting splicing techniques in children's television is a very dangerous thing that can destroy attention spans and discourage children in school and reading progress. Sadly, though well intentioned, I think Sesame Street has done more damage than good to children's education. Reading to a child, 20 or more pages per night, from a complex and long novel with many characters such as "The Hobbit" has the opposite effect.

When my son was growing up, he and I watched it together. He learned how to count and read a bit by 3 years old (with my encouragement). That show and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood were great TV shows for kids. I realize TV should never take the place of traditional learning -- but it sure didn't hurt my kid.

That very young kids can come to love very ugly creatures if they perceive them as friends. Much different from most adolescents and adults...who tend to "love" others more for their looks than anything else....

That those damn songs get stuck in your brain and are with you all day.
