Schoolhouse Rock!: Election Collection

I should have a sucker tattoo on my forehead. Schoolhouse rock completionists should buy this DVD. Otherwise, stay away. The menus are cute, and arranged strangely. Some of these segments fit nicely, but some don't at all. If, however, you're interested in a new perspective on an old set - you're not getting much here. I'm a little upset about the price - under $10 could've pushed this further, but I did but all of the VHS sets around $10. I figured that I was already in this thing above $50 anyways, so another $15...The new song is cute, and clocks in at about 60 seconds. It does fit nicely in with all of the other pieces of the pie. (Know how busy prepositions, the money segments, and even Mr. Morton kinda don't quite fit?) This harkens back to that late 70's feel...As for the surprise ending? I don't wanna spoil it, but they're NEARLY identical.Worth it for the completionist, not so much for anyone else...

I watched this DVD because I am absolutely obsessed with Schoolhouse Rock, and politics, so it only seemed fair to give it a shot.It gives some of the great classics, such as "I'm just a bill" and the "I'm gonna send your vote to college"The graphics are restored, and the sound is as well, so it looks and sounds great.The only thing I was disappointed in was the 2 "surprise" endings. They weren't amazing. Like 20 seconds, and nothing too spectacular.Of course the DVD comes with a few things, like an election tracking kit, which, seeing how the election isn't until Tuesday, I haven't used yet. Looks cool though. Lots of stickers. =]Overall, worth the money. Especially since it includes the classics.

I always liked this tv show when I was younger you learn about history from this in great songs

I grew up with School House Rock - I memorized the preamble to the constitution by singing "We The People" so I decided that this was perfect to share with my middle school students. I've used the "election" series to introduce American history and civics. Now they hum these infectious songs while working on assignments. We start the section on congress in the next few weeks so I expect I will be hearing the students singing about "Bill" until winter break. These videos have made, what some students may view as a dry subject matter, interesting and engaging. Never underestimate the power of the cartoon.

I believe in these because to this day, I can still recite the preamble to the constitution.

I loved this video as a child and now my daughter loves it too.

Very engaging, and educationally significant with fun graphics and catchy songs

I could go on 4ever about Schoolhouse Rock! I remember learning everything from this show. The best songs, best methods of implenting learning for children. Our kids LOVE it and we watch this every day!
