A lesson plan involving how a McDonald's operates is described on pages 95 and 96. A seven week long course educating a group of 10 year olds on the principles of how to operate a McDonald’s chain seems hardly time worthy. I will give it the benefit of the doubt by saying that it would be educational to teach children about how a business works (maybe using McDonald’s as an example), but even then, it should simply be a general overview that would take much less than seven weeks. What happened to learning about historic events and proper English skills? To what point will these types of lessons and advertisements in our schools continue to build up, and when will somebody finally intervene?
Is getting a bunch of free items worth putting children’s education on the line? Is letting corporations bombard hallways of schools the only way to provide institutions with necessary appliances such as computers? If a school is only receiving a small amount of aid, would the advertisers important additions to the building outweigh the consequences of ads throughout the school- meaning would it be better to have ads and computers, or no ads and no computers?
