Hey, You Guuuyyyyys! Recycling Electricity to Save the Environment of Learning
When I was a kid, staying home sick from school meant certain things:
Eating grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Gulping down St. Joseph chewable aspirin.
Watching The Electric Company on PBS.
At a time when everything old is new again, perhaps it’s not surprising that the old ’70s chestnut will be revived. Movie theaters are rife with sequels and remakes, most of them junky, so why not bring back something with educational value? Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit that produces Sesame Street, is behind the revival; the new Electric Company is set to debut in January with weekly episodes. As it was 30 years ago, the show’s focus will on reading and literacy, perfect topics for kids too old for Sesame Street and whose parents aren’t ready to expose them to Hannah Montana. I can’t wait to see what the new effort brings. | 501(c)
