The student proposes having advertisements in the school as a way to earn money for more learning tools without distracting from classroom learning or worrying parents. Ads could be placed on lockers in the hallways and be educational to avoid issues. The extra funding could provide each student an iPad and ensure teachers have enough supplies, with only positives and no downsides to advertisements in school.

Dear Dr. Greg Gray,
My class and I have been reading an article in the Scholastic News called
Ads in School? and I think it would be a good idea to have advertisements in
the school. They earn money for the school which means more and better
learning tools for the students. Think about it. The teachers wouldn’t have
to worry about not having enough supplies for the students or each student
could even have their OWN Ipad!! The ads could be put on the students’
lockers which would allow no distractions because the learning takes place in
the classrooms not the hallways. Also since the ads would/should be
educational ones the parents shouldn’t really have big problems with them.
Ads would be good for the school because they give the school money, aren’t
distracting, and educational. All I see are positives so what are you waiting
for?! Go get those ads!
Sincerely,
Ellen Tsao
