rightttt how about teaching them Maths and English first…

btw my opinion is that the industry should stay far far away from school and education. no sponsoring, no business, no propaganda, nothing.

no brainwashing is going to stop them.

children reply: sureeeeeeee.

“In the United Kingdom, Greece, Denmark, and Belgium advertising to children is restricted and in Quebec, Sweden and Norway advertising to children under the age of 12 is illegal.”

“The European Union also has framework legislation in place, which sets down minimum provisions on advertising to children for its 27 member States.”

…

“Advertising is especially aimed at young people and children and it increasingly reduces young people to consumers… Indeed, commercial interests intent on maximizing the consumption of the immense collection of commodities have colonized more and more of the spaces of our culture. For instance, …through the strategies of licensing, tie-ins and product placements… The prime function of many Hollywood films today is to aid in the selling of the immense collection of commodities… As public funds are drained from the non-commercial cultural sector, art galleries, museums and symphonies… In the same way effected is the education system and advertising is increasingly penetrating schools and universities… It is a central social-scientific question what people can be made to do… For example, from a great number of experimental psychological experiments it can be assumed, that people can be made to do anything they are capable of, when the according social condition can be created.”

“Ok, great. Everyone with your hands raised, you’re going to go with these nice men for the rest of the day.”

*the children are escorted out of the classroom for questioning by MAFFIA agents*

On a more serious note, education is about sharing knowledge. Depriving families from culture, whose we all know, can’t afford regular visit to theater or music purchase, is not very educational.

Now instructing 5 years old about law and regulation is a step too far. Next your kids will sell you to the best offer following the Stasi regime instructed in primary school.
