But i m not writing to complain about an s programming of no if i did that in might change for the better and then 1 and countless others would have nothing to Gripe about. What i m writing Aboul is the fillers an uses be tween shows. You know those one minute spots that Tell us not to beat our kids make Drunken fools of ourselves in Public or Salute with our left hand. And i m not complaining about those either not even in recruiting and re enlistment spots. I understand the need for them and besides they re Good for a  s bothering me Are those Dodds promos the ones that Tell us How great a Dodds education it for our kids. Please understand i m not writing thit As a disgruntled Parent of a kindergarteners who came Home from school with a new vocabulary of strange four letter words but As a concerned taxpayer and citizen who a wondering where the Money for those Glossy propaganda spots comes from Why is Dodds spending Money on commercials anyway after All if a Dodds education is All it Smade up to 6e, Ihnn there should be no need to Adver Tise with i m sure very expensive ads on television the Good news would travel quickly enough Between satisfied parents by word of  t it be More beneficial to put the Money spent for those advertisements towards something Tan Gible such As new books or More Field trips or even an extra paid Day for those poor teachers to prepare their classrooms and themselves at the beginning of the next school year As the stars and stripes is Here to serve american servicemen Dod civilians and their respective families i Hope it can be of assistance in answering a ques Tion i m certain Many people have asked themselves.
