from SLATE: >USA [TODAY] notes that one calculus teacher has come up with an ingenious way >to pay for the photocopying of his tests after his suburban San Diego high >school slashed the budget: Selling ads. Tom Farber charges $10 for a quiz, $20 >for a chapter test, and $30 for a semester final. When his plan was publicized >in local media, he garnered lots of interest and has raised $350 so far. >Despite worries about corporate influence, the truth is that most of the ads >are inspirational messages paid by parents, but there are some from local >businesses, including from a dentist who has a message for students: "Brace >Yourself for a Great Semester!"<
I still think selling grades is the way to go... -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
