Back To School ads
I just witnessed the 5th "back to school" ad in the past 45 minutes. I don't quite understand why the kids have to be subjected to this nearly a month {or more} away from school. Ads consisting of people getting equipment for school, be it, pencils to gym bags all the way to shoes, and lastly, haircuts.
You know, there is a reason why places around the world have more motivated kids than in the US and Canada.

I am aware of that.
What I am saying is that: As a result of the ads, {without sounding too Mrs. Lovejoy-ish} the kids are becoming less motivated for schools.

Heh, whenever we went shopping for school supplies I'd spend most of the time looking for new sketchbooks and other art supplies...
...but this year I don't start school until the end of September (yay for college! I get an extra month of vacation!)
