50,000 student hours gone in 30 seconds

December 17, 2010

30-second commercial forced on teens and preteens November 15, 2010.

 

 

November 15, 2010 – Channel One News says they still have “nearly 6 million” students under contract to watch their in-school TV show. If that is true then one 30-second ad like this one for an animated movie called Tangled could waste 50,000 student hours across the country.  This commercials ran several times in classrooms.
Since Channel One News is generally found in schools in lower income areas, this loss of precious educational time is even more tragic.
