I think corporate sponsered schools sounds very enticing but do we want companies to control the schools? Companies and politics intermingle with each other. They do favors for each other and I would not want schools caught up in a political tug of war. Companies re out to make money not support education of future consumers. Brainwashing comes to mind.Jnemo001 (talk) 03:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

This topic is important in the fact that it could be the future of our schools. As a student I can say that I have become numb to advertising. I really could not tell you who sponsors what at ODU nor would I be able to tell you if there advertisements make me more inclined to buy their items. Therefore I am not sure whether having sponsored corporate involvement will really affect students in the form of persuading them to buy a certain product. On the other hand I do agree with the author that if we do allow corporate involvement there needs to be checks and balances to insure that the standards are being upheld.
