Advertisers are targeting youth, “Own This Child” Written by Jean Kilbourne an informative article on this matter. Major corporations have recently begun using gaming [web] sites to create an image and “brand loyalty” early on in today’s youth as young as four years of age. Although The United States is an industrialized nation it is one of the few that entire campaigns are designed to target children. These same corporations are working with major television networks advertising products that pertain to program that is being viewed; with the intent to get them as a present consumer but also well into the future. In addition to television ads one company has initiated a program for advertisers to distribute coupons and promotional materials to a network with more than two thousand day care centers and about two million preschool kids. Companies are even going as far advertising in our schools ads are emblazoned on school buses, yearbooks and even scoreboards. Each day eight million students are successfully reached by advertisers. As schools become increasingly cash-strapped and underfunded, the more the schools except funding from corporations eager for a captive audience in exchange for their financial support. Educational programs have increased by 25% from 1965 to present putting more pressure on the schools to accept the funds from the more than willing companies and causing advertisement to become so over the top that when an spoof program offering students money to get tattoos of company logos many people believed it was an actual program. Big consequences are the result for any student doing anything to jeopardize funding from corporate sponsored events; such as wearing a competitor's logo to company sponsored rally. Schools are going to the extremes of signing long-term contracts in exchange for millions of dollars and exclusive rights to place vending machine where students all-day can access them. Companies even push the school to increase sales even…
If Everyone understands the issues with For-Profit institutions and spread the facts of what For-Profit institutions are actually doing will slowly kill off the Private for-profit institutions. Next time when anyone votes for a mayor, Governor, Senator, or a state representative they can check if their candidate understands the issue of for profit institutions because the more people in power understand of the plagues the middle and lower class the better off everyone else is.

I realize that it is opposite of the manner in which this school had begun, but it seems as though we have little choice. We already have a faculty unit that is looking to form a union due to the budget crisis, we should probably consider coming back to them with a better long-term plan in place.…

As a soon to be Chicago Public Schools alum, in my lifetime I have experienced school budget cuts, teacher displacements, and two teacher strikes. I have always believed that education is the key to success and extended opportunities, but for the past two years, the optimism that I have always had has slowly started to deteriorate. Everyday when I view the news, it seems that my education is being attacked. Whether it is on a federal, state, or city level. Recently, I just learned that the Trump administration is planning to make significant budget cuts to the Pell Grant program; the state of Illinois seems to also be doomed. Because the state has no budget, funding for the MAP Grant program is tentative. As far as the city, it seems that Chicago has the power to invest in every project except public education.…

Representatives of both sides argue their points. Supported by laws and treaties, secondary schools and institutions should not be allowed to use logos that are trademarked by universities and colleges.…

Middle school was an interesting time for me. School was seven minutes away from home and was right across the street from the elementary school I attended. I never really had strayed far from that area and didn’t know what could be in store for me out beyond. However, I knew one thing. The exact high school which I would attend. It wasn’t until near the end of 8th grade that I came upon a major decision for my future educational career and viewed a presentation on several magnet high school programs, programs specialized towards an interest, I could possibly enroll in. After weighing the options I decided upon the Design and Technology Academy (DATA) as my top choice. DATA advertised a focused, personalized, and diverse educational experience…
