Corporate Consumer Materials: Teaching Aids or Company Ads?

Dlabay, Les R.

Curriculum Review, v19 n4 p295-97 Sep 1980

But the very low price of these items may have a high cost in the form of their biased perspectives. Teachers must exercise continued care in selecting and using consumer education materials.
