Nearly every classroom in Bentonville High School is full of posters which usually is mostly of Garfield posters. Each Garfield poster consists of a picture of Garfield and a subtext meant to encourage students to learn and have more enhanced learning behavior.
“MY GOD! I can’t think with all this Garfield flim flam staring at me in the face”-says local student Whitney Hall. “At first it was cute, but I can’t take it anymore”. The school has said nothing about the psychological effects of the Garfield posters. Why do they need four posters in every room? What exactly is the school trying to pull. When asked her opinion on the subject a Junior that wished to remain anonymous commented “I think that they got old in the second grade, and clearly these teachers don't have any new shopping sources.” Then commented on the psychological effects the posters had on her and sarcastically added -“..well a fat cat absorbing knowledge my osmosis really makes me want to learn. I mean sure, it taught me what osmosis meant”
What the school plans to do on this matter is still under wraps. “As far as we are concerned there is no proof of any kind of psychological effects on students.” Said one source. If so, then what is the point in the first place, the posters are clearly sending some kind of message. As to what message exactly remains to be seen.
