Let’s be real, Mr. Rogers and Bill Nye were the best teachers you’ve ever had.
Bill Nye The Science Guy
What it taught you: That science rules! Like that one time when Bill recreated the water cycle and taught the different stages of H2O.
Why it's better than school: There was no deNYEing science was cool when this guy was around. Also, the props in his classroom were super rad.

Liberty's Kids
What it taught you: This show taught you all you about American history between 1773 and 1789. It also taught you what it's like to be a journalist and all the challenges you face as a reporter.
Why it's better than school: You went back in history through the eyes of two young and ambitious reporters that interviewed super high-profile historic figures like George Washington.

Sesame Street
What it taught you: Colors, numbers, and the alphabet. But most importantly it taught you valuable life lessons, like that one time Kermit the Frog sang "Being Green," which touches on the subject of race, individuality, and self-acceptance.
Why it's better than school: Hanging out with these monster-like puppets was way cooler than going to kindergarten with children who were real monsters.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
What it taught you: Life lessons that you can always practice. For example, you might've learned the meaning of 1 4 3 (I love you) on his show.
Why it's better than school: Because Mr. Rogers was, and always will be, the ultimate teacher.
