 - I love itIn my history class we listened to this everyday so we could learn the preamble. It was the best part of my day. The songs can be kinda stupid but its still awesome Rating: - FUN and meaningful- Also get SCRIPTURE ROCKLoads of fun and very important when the democratic ideal is getting lost in America. I bought this and SCRIPTURE ROCK for my kids to give them the full concept of the American ideal. Rating: - Still As Good As I RememberBack in 1988 when I was in college we all sat in dining hall one night and sang the School House Rock songs to each other. There, in our twenties, all of us could well remember the music and lyrics. Taking these songs off the air was the worst decision for Saturday morning cartoons ever made. They are fun, educational, memorable, instructive and their goal is not to get a parent to buy something (well, that explains why they are no longer on the air regularly). I loved them as a 5, 6, 7 year old and have never stopped (along with the majority of my generation). In fact, when I sat through my law school class about how a bill becomes a law I could not get the "I am a Bill" song out of my head and every time I hear someone describe a verb without using an adverb I have to wonder, did they ever see Lolly? Rating: - No more kings is good for kids to hear"No More Kings" "No More Kings" would be a good song for 5th graders to listen to even though of numerous amount of mistakes in it. This would be a good song for kids nine and ten years old to hear because it gives a basic layout of the Revolutionary War and how it started. The information that I had added was from an 8th grade history book that may be advanced for 5th grade knowledge. If I were a parent I would definitely buy this for my child, nothing is inaccurate buy some things are missing that are crucial to the start of the war. Even though they left out the Intolerable Acts, and Tea and Stamp Acts, it doesn't matter because these children will learn about that when they are in our grade. It is definitely a great introduction to the Revolutionary War, no doubt about that! Rating:  - No More KingsThe American Revolution is an important event that students learn in Social Studies class. "NO More Kings" is a cartoon discussing events from the American Revolutionary War. This cartoon was wicked awesome. Most of the information was correct. Only a little part of the lyrics were inaccurate. There were a lot of key events that were left out such as, the Stamp and Townsend acts. Also, the harsh winter the colonists had with the Indians and Squanto were left out. The illustrations of the cartoon were a great way to show what life was like back in the1770's. To improve this cartoon, fix the inaccurate information and missing events. This cartoon is for a 5th grade age level. Overall "No more kings" had its highs and lows.
