It doesn't look like they are trying to sell any advertising. While watchdog organizations are good and required, one should be careful not to suppress innovative and brilliant thinking. Lets be fair and give them a chance to present their viewpoint. It might just be good for the kids. Before i accuse them, why not i give them a chance to present their ideas ? The website says that it will help with discipline and bhaviour on the bus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371537877012050693.post-80441970273327683192010-06-28T06:26:34.065-07:002010-06-28T06:26:34.065-07:00Children already have too many screens competing f...Children already have too many screens competing for their often too divided attention. TV, internet, video games, cell phones. Bad enough people put TVs in their cars to sedate their children. I see no reason to inflict yet another media barrage on children in one of the few places currently free of it. If you think this is a good idea, I suggest watching some of the advertising targeted at children, like the one for an electronic cup and ping-pong balls. Such a product sounds ridiculous to an adult, but it's frightening to watch kids get sucked in by it. And I think anyone who believes this system won't have such ads is fooling themselves. It has to be paid for somehow and most of the schools can hardly be expected to afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371537877012050693.post-26969981615545834532010-06-27T14:16:10.453-07:002010-06-27T14:16:10.453-07:00I viewed the B-E-S-T website and it clearly states...I viewed the B-E-S-T website and it clearly states that there is no commercial advertising. I think it could be a good idea, as long as the company lives by that. These days technology can be used to make our lives better. Can anyone comment on the craziness that goes on in School buses, cause kids are not supervised and this could be a good way to make their ride safer by playing safety related messages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371537877012050693.post-66918428503471755452010-06-25T09:14:22.788-07:002010-06-25T09:14:22.788-07:00$1500 per bus the districts don't have to pay ...$1500 per bus the districts don't have to pay for programming the kids won't watch all so some private company can turn our kids into a product and make money the schools will never see.

For those that don't live here, they are gutting the bus & subway routes this weekend, all due to their very poor financial management (which when combined with the terrible economy makes it even tougher to climb out of the whole).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
