  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Corporations In The Classroom

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 7 years 5 months ago

Marketing to school age students is now a 2 billion dollar industry. The way corporate sponsors are stepping up to the plate, offering ... all » promotions, sponsorships and even free curriculum there is no stopping the flow of advertising in covert forms. Or is there?

The problem is there are few or no regulations in place to protect our children from corporate marketing campaigns that look just like classroom lessons. And schools need playgrounds and gym equipment that taxes do not seem to pay for any longer.

Enter new corporate champions. First come sponsorships, then come naming rights and next come learning materials in the classrooms! Watch as donations become classroom resources and product placement opportunities. The good news is some school districts are fighting back and succeeding in keeping the classrooms a safe haven from the marketing hype.

This video has been marked Long (called by gold star member Fedquip)

Klaipeda University in Lithuania is basically a shopping mall with some classrooms stuck on the side, they couldn't afford a new building on their own. I don't think that educating your nation's future in a shopping mall is the way things are supposed to be.
