I disagree. As a teacher, I think we have an obligation to keep adv. out of schools even if it means being underfunded. It's about priorities. The USA has the money to fund schools. As a nation, we'd rather fund our military, Wall St., and Corp Interests (thanks Congress). By caving in, we are ultimately selling kids' futures so that Corps. can profit. Selling kids' health (sugary drinks, candy and materialism) isn't worth having "some supplies".

More reason to HomeSchool....My kids do not watch T.V during the day. If they are not too busy playing together in the evening, they may sit for a short time and watch a show.. (No! I only have two kids.) One thing we do is use the mute button, so we do not have to listen to commercials. It makes a HUGE difference, try it.. We also TiVo a lot of shows so we can FF through the commercials.

I wonder where Naomi Klein ever got the idea that "the values and goals of education" include "asking students" to "look deeper" and "to find their own answers"?Some teachers may have had that idea when young and naïve, but they either changed or were squeezed out. Ask John Holt or John Taylor Gatto. Obedience, conformity, and rote, repetivie work.

I completely agree. Although this is a bad situation, subjecting students to advertising in schools, teachers and administrators have no choice because its money that provides much needed supplies and programs in the school. Teachers need this because the government isn't providing adequate funding to the schools. Teachers horribly underpaid and ALL teachers use some of their OWN money to buy things for their class.

:\You shoulden't be so quick to turn teachers into corporate whores. Teachers are already payed shit for the amount of work they do and amount of stress that job brings.You're a little dellusional if you think teachers choose that job for the money.

yeah, it's sickening. My kids go to alternative schools, one Waldorf one Montessori, I doubt we will ever put them in public schools. It's a shame.

I just found out Channel One is broadcast daily in my sons' school. My kids will be pulled out. I am out raged! If you aren't outraged you either aren't a parent or you aren't paying attention.
