@Bud
Great Point about public school versus Business Market and the muddy area we could get into.

To add more complexity to this issue, my old school district had a contract with Coca-Cola. Only Coke products in the vending machines and Coke would "give" the school a new scoreboard on the football field. Of course the Coke label was all over the scoreboard. In some respects I think schools are already doing this (sometimes the results are not always beneficial). And then we had sponsors for the Spring Musical (which was very costly). In turn for giving the school a few bucks, the company got to have their logo all over the programs, signs, banners, and in the theater. Where is the line? I don't know. Bud you bring up an excellent point! Thanks for posting.

Late to the conversation - but I wonder -
Kids need to eat at school. Businesses perhaps should give schools and kids all the food they need to eat. I suspect KFC and McDonald's would love to get in on that.

Kids and teachers need to wear clothes at school. I suspect many businesses wouldn't mind donating clothes, along with little logos for teachers and student to wear. Great business to advertise.

I want lots of things for students, but I don't like the idea of granting access to businesses as a way for them to boost advertising. It's tricky ground to navigate and I'm more of the opinion that schools should be paying their bills and trying their best to know to whom they're beholden - in the case of public schools, the taxpayer. Not the cellular service companies.

Much to think about here.

Just as ammo for your argument, you should check out Chris Anderson's (of Long Tail fame) new book, "Free: The Future of a Radical Price."

A quote from a review of it: "In Free, he makes the compelling case that in many instances businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for them. Far more than a promotional gimmick, Free is a business strategy that may well be essential to a company's survival."

A couple of companies whose services I've used in my teaching already offer free services, such as txtblaster.com and polleverywhere (limited to 35 per poll, but still free).

You have my vote. i think it is a great idea. These kids may even work for these telecommunications companies one day.
