An unexpected curriculum tool TELEVISION

Since it has been raining almost nonstop for the past two or 3 weeks, I have allowed my children unlimited access to educational channels on the TV. They like to keep it on Animal Planet.
Here is what they have learned
1. How babies are born (from watching dogs and horses etc, have babies)
2. care of animals and not to abuse them
3. Consequences of not being careful with animals (from watching the emergency animal hospital show)
4. Countless info on veterinary medicine (they have the stomach to watch the goriest things)
5. About life and death.
I never could have taught these things to them on my own.
