Topic	I am wondering if it would be plausible for a children's television show to

But that also means teaching them reverse algebra before they could do multiplication and division, as well as typing... And I could get rid of those stupid puppets and songs designed to distract the kids from teaching them separate constructed languages... It could plausibly work. I just don't know how without the preliminary requirements, but that also means teaching kids something that their schools refuse to teach them (but should absolutely be mandatory). Aiming for an older audience from around 10 to 15 years old would not work, as they would refuse to watch anything educational, much less force them to do effort on their part. But how do I pitch this dumb idea to network executives, who would rather put a worthless, uneducational cartoon that does nothing but rot children's brains with a warped view of reality from a young age, instead of greenlighting them to be software engineers?
