McDonalds prints coupons on report cards that reward young children for getting good grades.
As childhood obesity rates soar, the controversy is growing about this potentially harmful partnership between fast food companies and public schools.
Susan Pagan couldn't believe it when her nine-year-old daughter Cathy came home from school with a report card that included a photo of McDonalds items. Cathy was thrilled, because the report card offered every student who gets As and Bs a free "Happy Meal," and she was one of those bright students.
"I was appalled and shocked, because I don't want her eating that type of food," said Pagan.
