School Advertisement | |||||||||||||||||
Inside school buses or in the cafeteria of a school there should be more advertisements. This will reduce the instability of the school's budget and the school boards budget and these funds could be used to purchase supplies and to have more programs. Paper printed in school may have some ads but it can be coloured paper and there can be more field trips by the funds. Instead of using more of the taxpayers money, schools should allow businesses to advertise in their property.

Advertising is prejudiced information. It's bad enough this crap pervades the rest of the world. Kids don't need more twisted words.
It is funny, the advertising that would reliably pay well is from advertisers we don't want kids to see.
Goodness!!!!Pornography?
I'm afraid that I just can't agree with this proposal for more advertisement in schools. Although it makes financial sense, it goes against many moral principals.
First of all, students would become a captive audience of predatory advertisements. When these students are bombarded with suggestions all day long they can become more and more susceptible to advertisements in general,and advertisements can lead people to do silly things with their money.
Furthermore, it goes against common sense to allow the government to endorse certain goods and services. In my high school, Coca-Cola has many vending machines and advertisements spread throughout the campus. This is just wrong! Students should be encouraged to consume healthy foods and drinks, not sugar-rich, carbonated drinks. If anything should be endorsed by schools, it should be healthy foods.
Finally, there are some schools that should be allowed to accept funds from advertisers. Private institutions. If a private school wants to allow advertisers, it is their choice, but the government should not force advertisements on kids.
On a separate note, I would just like to say that the problems our nation's schools are seeing is not a lack of funding, but a lack of competition. If you want to raise the quality of schools, allow schools to compete for students and funds.
Problems can't always be solved simply by giving programs more money. In many cases, schools with the largest budgets perform the worst.
