from SLATE:
>USA [TODAY] notes that one calculus teacher has come up with an ingenious way to pay for the photocopying of his tests after his suburban San Diego high school slashed the budget: Selling ads. Tom Farber charges $10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, and $30 for a semester final. When his plan was publicized in local media, he garnered lots of interest and has raised $350 so far. Despite worries about corporate influence, the truth is that most of the ads are inspirational messages paid by parents, but there are some from local businesses, including from a dentist who has a message for students: "Brace Yourself for a Great Semester!"<

I still think selling grades is the way to go...
