Going back to school
That back-to-school commercial has started playing and it's catchy.

Christmas has come and gone and New Year’s Eve was a bit of a downer. But don’t fret, this signals that the first day of school is just around the corner.
Some parents might be rejoicing at the thought of driving their children to school…
…while others will be drenching the pillows with their tears at the thought of separating from their bundle of joy.
But can someone please spare a thought for the teachers….
However, those who have it worse are undoubtedly the children themselves who will have to forget the late night movie watching, waking up when the sun is out and doing nothing but eat, sleep and play. This beats the life of doing homework and listening to a teacher.
No wonder going back to school elicits the craziest reaction from your children.
But honestly, children don’t really hate going to school. Just the teachers, the building, the desks and chairs, the boards, the books and everything else. The only thing that makes going to school worth it for children is being with their friends.
Although going back to school might be dreary for some, others will take the challenge head on and make the most of it.
