Imagine if you will: you enter your classroom.
Your homeroom teacher calls the class to order.
Roll is called, then your teacher tells you to

The show starts, introduced by a teenage boy,
appropriately attired for the era, and a thin,

"Wow! TV during school hours," you think. After
a few minutes of chatter, you're invited to taste
the colors of the rainbow. "How can I do that?",
you wonder. Eat candy. Some more chatter occurs,
then you see Michael Jordan reaching new athletic
heights. "It's the shoes," the ad proclaims. The
boy and girl return, wrap things up...
until tomorrow.
This is no odd dream. This is the way a typical
school day starts for approximately eight million
teenagers, grades 7-12.
