Should Ads Be Used in School?


In the recent article of Time For Kids we read about schools that are allowing companies to advertise in their schools. Advertising will help bring money into the schools but there are negative factors with having companies using schools as advertisements.


How do you feel about advertising in schools?
Do you think schools should let companies advertise?
Should every company be allowed to advertise in school?


Describe your feelings in a short 5-7 sentence paragraph. Be sure to include examples of why you believe what you believe. Post the response and wait for Mr. Watanabe to accept your post.

I think ads should be in school. The people should give us a price for sponcering the ad,like a ipad and the new lap top touch or we can get both in reture for sponcering the ad.

Adam M said...

No, I do not think that ads should be in schools. If you see a advisement and you really want it, so then it might be on your mind and you would not be able to commentate on what you need to do because the ad is on your mind. If ads had to be in schools I would want school related ads.

I think some ads are ok, like if it is school related. Than if it is like 1st bank or something it's not. Ads would be good for school store because it is with our school.School related ads is what I think!

Emma said...

I believe YES and NO because of lots of reasons. YES because it is good for people’s companies to advertise things, but NO because it could be ad’s inappropriate for schools and school buses. It would also coast a ton of money for the company but lots of money for the schools. That’s way I believe YES and NO

Trevor said...

No, I do not think that ads should be in schools. if you saw a ad that you wanted to have it might be on your your mind and so you dont concentrate as much because your mind is on the ad. if schools had to have ads i would prefer school related ads.

I think companies should be able to advertise as long as they put up ads in certain places where you don't need to concentrate, such as the school hallways. As long as the ads are school appropriate. If they advertise for things like pencils and notepads, I would be fine with advertising. If companies do advertise at schools they should give some kind of discount to the school community. Or they could give the school something in return, like books or supplies made by the company. -Colin

I think if they let a few ads in school that would be ok. But if there are ads everywhere that would be crazy and outragis! It would be distracting. If you wanted to take them down you couldn't do anything about it because the school grounds own it.

I think they should be in schools because it will get the staff to go to the stores and the students will tell their parents about it and and it could make the parents go to the store and buy the items. And thats why I think there should be ads in schools.

Rachael said...

Yes and no, Because would kids really go to a bank if it was an ad in your school, or to the RTD for a great deal or something? The little stickers and stuff like the small cici's stickers are totally fine and school related like "COME SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL AT NODDLES & COMPANY" or something. Or if the school is really poor you should be able to if its a great deal, like we will replace all the materials if we can put a big sign in your school gym. So Yes and No.

I think ads should be aloud in school. I think they should be okay because if the addvirtising compeny wants to pay alot of money to have those avratisments on lockers or buses then i would let it happen. But i dont think that they shold go above and beyond like every were you look there are adds.I think its okay to maybe have a ad on are planner or on a paper that goes home but i do not think there should be a big avrtisment on a school door or on a lunch table because i think it would be kinda creepy to see some guy from a bank on my table while im eating lunch. Or be walking on my bus at the end of the day with some huge CC's pizza sigh on it.So i do think some school ads should be aloud!

Quinn O. said...

yes I think ads should be used in school. Only if they are school related ads, but if they are just ads for Staples,Best Buy,Dick's,ect. That's why I think ads should be used in schools.

Kayla S. said...

I think that some advertisements should be allowed in school. But I think that only school related advertisements could be allowed in school. I think that advertisements in hallways and place’s that does not require for you to concentrate should be were all the ad’s are. Because if there was a HUGE sign for coco cola across the wall in your class room. That would make working very hard. I also think that if schools are letting ad’s go on school ground that the companies that are on school grounds should pay the school’s something in return. That’s why I think some ad’s should be allowed.

I think ads should be in school as long as they are school appropriate. Its okay if theirs only a poster on the wall but I don't want to see a ad were ever I go. I think ads are okay for school.
