Cash-strapped teacher sells ads on tests
CNN - December 3, 2008
In tests for teacher Tom Farber's high school class, students can
demonstrate their mastery of calculus and find out where to get braces or
even a haircut.
Squeezed by classroom budget cuts, the Rancho Bernardo High School teacher
is selling ads on his exams to cover the costs of printing them.
"It raises money for the teachers and it's amusing for the kids, so it seems
like a win-win," said Luke Shaw, 18, a student at the suburban San Diego,
California, school.
Parents and administrators also praise Farber, 47, for his creative
classroom funding, but he doesn't want it to become the norm.
"My intention is, [selling ads] is a stopgap measure," said Farber. "I don't
want to be doing this year after year."
