The studies showcasing the positive effects of PBS on children’s learning seem endless. A 2015 study showed children who watched “Super Why!” had stronger literacy skills. That same year, a study found viewers of “Peg + Cat” had stronger mathematical skills. A 2021 study found “Molly of Denali” had better problem-solving skills. Several researchers that EdSurge interviewed pointed to a study from the University of California, Los Angeles, asking teenagers—the first to have grown up watching “Daniel Tiger”—about the show, with almost all respondents not only remembering it but also specific episodes and lessons learned.

MODERATORS
Children should be skipped ahead to listening to NPR early. Or just Detour TALK out of Knoxville.
Progressives should also take over schools. Just straight up do what they're being accused of.
