Advertising is schools

[Tasha]

I was reading this article online today about the use of advertising in schools and the way it is used these days to allow schools to get sponsorship or buy more equipment for the school. I had not thought about it before but this does mean usually quite young children are exposed to large amounts of advertising for products that are sometimes not what their parents would want them to have, either because they are not very healthy or they are expensive. What do you think about this? You can read the article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/dec/14/children-advertising-exploitation-report. Tell us what your views are on this matter.
