School Watch Team Blasts Off | |||||||
|
|||||||
A national network of concerned citizens is forming to keep an eye on commercialism in our schools. People from all walks of life are registering themselves with the School Watch Team. These are folks who will advise the Center on any in-school commercial activity that they find. A lot of these Team members are also getting ready to perform Commercialism Walk-Throughs in local schools, where theyll seek to gauge the level of marketing present.
The very first School Watch Team member came to us from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but people all across the country are jumping on board. We currently have members from 12 states and one Canadian province and hope to soon be able to receive reports from any region. Any one who wants to be actively aware of advertising in public education should join! Members receive any of our informative and organizational materials at absolutely no cost! They also will receive the School Watch Team Bulletin with all sorts of ideas, strategies and news. In addition, the Center provides over-the-phone training and offers to connect local members with one another. We expect the Team to become a very important project as new forms of commercialism pop up in our public education systems. Any one who would like to join or receive more information should call the Center at 1-800-UNPLUG-1 (1800- 867-5841). We hope that youll take the step and let us know what you come across! |
