PBS was only four months old in February 1971, having taken over from NET.

I assume WMHT had a lineup of instructional programs for the classroom airing before 4 p.m. They don't show up in the listing shown here. Why?

I checked the listings again: Sesame Street is listed at 9am, but there aren't programs listed for the station between 10am and 4pm.
 
Even TV Guide didn't list the in-school programs. There was a note that "in addition, channels 39 and 45 air instructional programming during the school day" or something like that.

Now that you mention it, I do remember that disclaimer. So why was it done? I used to watch some of those shows when I was home from school sick and I'm pretty sure the Boston Globe had them (for WGBH) in its listings.
 
I loved those old George Plimpton specials! Not sure how many there were in total, or how many years they ran, but they came about as a result of his book "Paper Lion" where he described what it was like for a regular non-football guy to go through an NFL training camp. After it was made into a movie (where he was played by Alan Alda), ABC signed him up to do some specials. The ones I remember were another one at an NFL training camp (the Colts, I think), as well as one where he trained as a trapeze artist and one where he worked as a stand up comic.
