Some of the kids are doing enough work as it is. its not fair to some so the ones who already do their work and now have to do extra just for a phone THE SCHOOL is giving them. its jus unfair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-43230216356258835762008-01-20T02:37:00.000-05:002008-01-20T02:37:00.000-05:00Nuts.

Remember the Snapple machines that were put into schools in 2003? I think it was a no-bid contract as well. The pitch was that they were supposed to be healthier than other drinks, but what was really important to Snapple was the exclusive visibility of that particular brand, which over time gets really imprinted into the kids' brains.<BR/><BR/>Something else that gets imprinted over time are the newspapers, which are left at the door so kids can take them free of charge when they enter the building. That's another habit in the making for later-in-life purchasing. The kids go for the Post and the Daily News because they are easier to read than the Times, and more salacious. Now there's a nice habit to create in a young mind: a morning dose of stories about killing, abuse, bad behavior, and sexual come-ons.<BR/><BR/>It feels as if the schools are turning into a veritable treasure trove for corporate marketing strategies.Under Assaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222267229529062957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-78508071473059744602007-11-19T15:36:00.000-05:002007-11-19T15:36:00.000-05:00The possibilities being tossed around by politicia...The possibilities being tossed around by politicians and bureaucrats for education-department sanctioned, privately sponsored cell phones and service for public school students keep getting stranger and stranger.<BR/><BR/>My daughter travels to and from school by subway every day and her cell phone is my lifeline to her— I don't want a Department of Education distribute cell phone -I just want her to be permitted to carry her cell phone each day (school days, weekends and holidays). Between the suggested text messages to students from celebrities and now the advertising targeted to students - I believe both the mayor and his chancellor have gone off the deep end.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056496318609798972noreply@blogger.com
