I didn't know that was happening. As we are learning how to better serve our community of learners we are also seeing the differences that are embedded among them. How can we teach such a variety of students with the same methods?

I agree with the initial thought that "at least the old episodes will be on PBS" but also I am frustrated to see that one of the most expensive channel sets one can buy, houses the new material. This will not allow those low income children to grow with the rest of their peers, and that is very disturbing.

The good news is that by moving to HBO, Sesame Street will have the funding to continue on PBS. However, the fact that funding has been cut so greatly to cause a need for this move is more than a little sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670866205792705147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870609239164194411.post-3403123509615374292015-09-14T18:16:31.043-07:002015-09-14T18:16:31.043-07:00I had the same thought when Sesame Street was boug...I had the same thought when Sesame Street was bought by HBO and remember thinking the same as you, that at least poorer kids would see the episodes eventually. <br /><br />But the slate article is right, Sesame Street was created with a purpose, and even though their shows will reach a broader audience eventually, I fear that this could be part of a trend that erodes the few early learning opportunities that exist for low income children. I hope we never reach a point where all educational television is only available on higher cost cable channels. <br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268492182289573600noreply@blogger.com
