Editorial
Schools are
places
for learning,
not marketing
A scary thought came up at the last of a
series of school accommodation meetings_
Themeetings were held to explain 'to the
public the process taking, place that is_expected
to lead to some school closures within the
Avon-Vaitland District School 3oard
Questions were asked of school board
officials at a meeting .last week •if there 1,rveren t
other ways to generate funciing •
:t was learned that another school board is
looking into an idea in Peel Region where a'
corporation -has provided televisions,
computers .and satellite technology but with the
agreement that children watch about eight.
minutes of television each day, including
commercial content
Education director ,orne 2achlis warned it's
dangerous to link schools with corporations
that could potentially lead to a situation where.
if profits go down, schools could have to dose
But it s also dangerous to be commercializing
school and linking •not only the school to
corporate Canada but the students
- A student shoui-dn-t--be - exposed - to-
commercial advertising and promotion in order
to have the benefits of a computer in his or her
classroom
Schools are a..piace for tearning,.riot for
marketing '

Several years -ago. many

too hroad, and .ti ioiaied the
Charter of Right: and
Freedoms \n appeal

decision on lune ?t)th, thus
proclaiming that 'possession
of child pornography is not
a crime ,
