I’m terribly bothered when the idea of advertising hits our schools. There is marketing everywhere in America and it has hit an all time low by targeting teenagers directly while they’re in school. Channel One has provided an awesome advertising program that does this. They think that by throwing a school off a couple of computers and televisions, then it’s contributing to a better good but in all actuality, they’re exploiting teenagers. The computer lab that they might offer a school, costs no where near the price that they charge for their advertisements. Can you imagine the profit of this company all at the expense of adolescents.

This is why I don't believe the education is truly fair. Yes, every American has the opportunity to go to high school and earn a diploma, but are these high school educations equal? Inner city, poverty stricken kids can't honestly have the same quality of education that I received in high school. My school had multiple computers in every high school and the teachers earned a pretty solid salary. These poor schools can't afford these computers and probably have worse teachers because the teachers aren't happy with the money they receive from these poor areas. I don't believe this makes our education system equal at all. We both agree that all Americans should choose what education they receive, but some citizens don't have the luxury of that choice because of the areas they live. However, I do agree with your views on commercialization and I think this a good blog article and I am just voicing my opinion. Good work.
