ADVERTISING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Advertising
 Ad: a public promotion of some product or
service
 the business of drawing public attention to
goods and services
Vending Machines in schools
I am against having vending machines in school
because schools complain about weight
being an issue with their students they
shouldn’t have vending machines.
I think the only vending machines that should
be available in school are the ones selling
water.
Having soda available to students isn’t healthy.
Banners on Busses
 Should be allowed if their promoting
something other than candy and soda.
 If food places are going to advertise on school
property they should promote healthy
choices.
Schools make money
 From having companies advertise in their
school.
 They can use this money towards anything
the school needs.
 From fundraisers the schools hold.
 Young people view more than 40 000 ads per
year on television alone and increasingly are
being exposed to advertising on the Internet,
in magazines, and in schools.
Schools are for learning
Kids see advertisings everywhere! On the TV,
computer, and on billboards in their own
towns.
They don’t need to learn about new products in
school. They need to learn math, science and
English.
