Yes, yes, another post on Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program, the filmstrip series that was underwritten by your tax dollars… at least, if you were paying federal taxes in the US in the late 1970s. According the booklets, these were underwritten by a grant from the  U.S. Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Here’s a list of the filmstrips that make up the set; the asterisks mark the ones that I have filmstrips and the accompanying discussion guides for.
