I'm adding one more post about my previous topic, because my mother ran across it and had this to say:
Re: Blog
Schools started running ads inside on monitors almost 25
years ago. I think it was a company from Tennessee that may now be
heavily involved in the charter school business. Keep in mind that
schools earn money form this venture. Some schools got rid of the ads
when concerns about obesity and diabetes were raised.
I have to admit, this is true, but having posters and monitors in halls versus on a bus where it's unavoidable for the students due to proximity and also becomes public advertising space outside the school walls just feels tacky. Perhaps the revenue generated for the school is substantial, but I cringe at the thought of schools moving closer to the "business model" they already seem to be adopting...
