In continuing with my 40 days of Sesame Street, wherein I post awesome Sesame Street videos that showcase the issues we care about at TakePart, I'm going to take inspiration from a recent post we put up called Save Our Teachers and look at the times Sesame Street went to school.

It really annoys me how Sesame Street is the 15th most watched show. Stupid shows like spongebob and hannah montana are coming in the way of kids actually learning something.
