If you want to get an idea of how Americans view their public (read: government) schools, one only needs to watch a series of cartoon shorts that MADtv has put out on its show. The cartoons are a takeoff on the the much beloved Schoolhouse Rock series that I grew up on as a young child of the 1970s and early 1980s (We all remember, I'm just a bill, and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill...). The rule of satire is that it only works if there is some truth to it. As you watch this Public Schoolhouse Rock short, keep that in mind:
Good Day to You, Sir
