Imagine if teaching was like clicking online video

[sportage]

Click on those CNN or Youtube videos, and they force you to first watch a commercial. Teachers should work that way. Get paid for pushing products in the classroom.
What a whole new source of advertisement just waiting to be tapped.
And help out those teaching incomes.

"Today children, we will learn about the Civil War.
But first...
Did you kiddies know that a nutritious breakfast every morning helps keep your mind alert? And HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS will give you all the morning pep with vigor to learn all about the Civil War.
So tell mom to pick up a big box of HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS on her next shopping trip."
"Now class, it was back in 1861 that...."

or

"Class, looks like its time for recess.
But first...
Wal-Mart has the best selection of affordable children's shoes to let you run faster and jump higher all during recess.
So tell mom tonight you want to go shopping at your local Wal-Mart for the best selection when it comes to affordable children's shoes.
Remember children, thats Wal-mart for the best selections and the lowest price"

or

"Billy, stop pulling Sally's hair.
But first...
Sally, does your mom know Johnson's Baby Shampoo is Clinically proven pure, mild and gentle for removing dirt from your hair left by Billy's dirty fingers?
So tell mom tonight that Billy was pulling at your hair, and she needs to go out and buy pure, mild and proven Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Then wash your hair before you go to bed.
Remember Sally, thats Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Its not just for babies anymore."
"Now BILLY, get your A$$ the F@@K down to the principles office."

Ka-ching teachers $$$

And this idea wouldn't have to stop with the teachers.
How about your boss?

"Yes Sam, we are laying your off. Sorry.
But before you leave, Sam...
Did you know Von's Grocery Stores has a full selection of affordable food items for the tightest family budget?
Yes Sam, when test compared with other grocery stores, Von's came in number one for lowest prices store wide.
You will no longer need to cut corners to feed your family heathy affordable meals, Sam.
Why not stop in at your local Von's Grocery Store on your way home today, since you will be home early, and give the little lady a break from cooking.
The little lady will appreciate that you're a smart money saving shopper.
And without cutting out on quality.
Von's, Sam, your smart shopper grocery store voted number one when it came to lowest pricing store wide."


Give this ad thing a try to see how this works for you.
While lazing around the water cooler or the break room at work, before you talk about last nights big game, or something funny the kid did over the weekend, give a little product pushing a try.
And then imagine if you were paid for it.

Ka-Ching $$$

Patience. Everyone's trying to boost profit margins or close budget gaps by jamming more and more (goddamn) advertising into every last place not already coated with its slimy film.

That is until the kids use adblock and skip the commercials.
