225 CASH PRIZES for students, totaling $23,000!
Students can earn LOTS of great prizes by entering in Stossel in the Classroom's essay contest, for students aged 13-18! And they have super prizes for teachers, too!
ESSAY TOPIC: In John Stossel's TV special and book of the same name, "No They Can't," Stossel makes the case that free people and free markets do a better job of solving problems than government. Do you think he's right? Why or why not? Please
write a 500-1000 word essay on this topic, illustrating your position using a recent example of a problem private individuals solved where an attempted government solution failed OR a problem government solved where private individuals' attempts
had failed. You must include at least one reference to John Stossel's "No They Can't" book or TV special.
• 225 students will receive CASH PRIZES totaling $23,000.
• 1st and 2nd place students will also win an all-expense-paid trip to New York City for themselves, a chaperone, and the teachers who submitted their essays to see a live taping of STOSSEL.
• Teachers whose students receive at least an honorable mention will receive an autographed copy of one of John Stossel's best-selling books.
• Each teacher may submit an unlimited number of student essays (500-1000 words) on our web site between now and the Feb. 13, 2013, deadline.
