Having been a student and then a teacher for several years, I admit to a twinge of longing at this time of year. The TV is full of 'back to school' ads for clothes and school supplies and pleas for donations to help needy students. All of that is fine, but today I heard an ad on the morning news that I thought had hit a new low. It was an ad by a car dealership encouraging people to buy a new car because you wouldn't want to children to be ashamed of your car when you drop them off at school. Really? That is so wrong on so many levels. That's it. I'll stop writing and let you think about it.
