I read "Teacher Sells Ads On Tests from 2 cents worth, by David Warlick. It says that companies will pay $10 to place an ad on a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, and $30 for a semester final. I think that that's a little outrageous, because when we're taking a test or quiz we're focused and then by seeing an advertisment on the paper we're reading or writing on, it would distract us. School is supposed to be a place where we find information and learn it. And even though that's not the case sometimes, if students are taking a test, i hardly think that they would want to find a ad for Monster on it. I know that i wouldn't. It's kind of hypocrital in a sorts. Like, we get into trouble for talking about something we saw on tv or something we saw in an advertisment, but then they put it on our tests. I just think that that's a little overboard. Some kids think that it's cool, but that's their oppion, and we're all objected to our own oppions.
