Teachers : Apple stores are a great place to take your students for a field trip ... so says Apple. For an opportunity to brainwash the naive, mushy brains of your young ones, they will throw in some goodies including a T-Shirt for the kids. Check out ....
Edited : looks like Apple site will not allow direct link ... copy & paste the link in the Summary section below.

Please put the fact that you must take a field trip to the Apple Store to get the t-shirt in your title!
I am not the one to be worried about a red so you can paint the entire post red all you want. But iceul2's points are invalid.
- I made it clear in the title that the T-shirt is for students ... though from a friend of mine I was just talking to, he got one as well during the visit (he is a teacher)
- Most teachers consider it a hot offer if they can get a free t-shirt for their students (let me guess ... you are not a teacher?)
- Field trip offer - I don't see the need for that ... There are other conditions such as Field trip dates are from Sept thru Nov, there should be a date available in local area, you must live near an Apple Store etc. Those are details. Most teachers are always looking for opportunities to take kids on a field trip so this is not like asking for the impossible.

Oh ok... I reread the title and now I get it. See it's a bit confusing, and I'll tell you why:
I read it as "for every student in your class, you get a free t-shirt"
instead of
"Free Apple t-shirt given to every student" "in your class"
So it's a bit unclear...

call me stupid, but you just confused it even more for me.
Alright .... I don't want to cause a chaotic situation leading to another 700 billion dollar bailout ... updated the title now. Let me know if it sounds any better.
It'd be great if you can add "with field trip to the Apple Store" in your title...

Done .... my last good deed for the day before I go to bed 
That's great, brainwash the youngsters before they're old enough to know better!
By the way isn't there a forum called "Free Stuff"

That forum is for offers that come to your home ... field trip costs time ... and GAS!!!!!

and it's possible with several shirts, this offer goes over $10 in value. free stuff is for items UNDER $10.

If it's under $10, but over $9, is it really free? Also, what is the value of one shirt? I want to be sure I declare it accurately on my taxes.

Every time I pick my kids up from school. I find myself thinking the same thing- elementary school teachers deserve a 400-500% raise for what they do. There's not a truck big enough to hold enough money to keep me locked inside a room with thirty plus elementary age kids for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. I have my hands full with my own two brats.
That being understood, the Apple Store is an awesome place to take such a group. It's full of cool stuff to keep them busy, and all you have to do is get them herded inside and position yourself by the exit so none of the little animals escape. Just let 'em run wild, they'll have plenty to keep them busy and there's very little chance of them getting hurt or lost (and lemme tell ya, that's a HUGE plus- I've chaperoned on overnight field trips and I know). If they break something, just display your field trip permission disclaimer and tell the staff to contact the school district. Fun and headache free for the teachers, and God knows they deserve fun and headache free.
A free t-shirt for the urchins is merely icing on the cake.

How was that unclear? Are you a teacher who needs so many free t-shirts? Obviously Apple isn't going to give 30 t-shirts to the teacher! Are you such a greedy teacher that you wouldn't give the t-shirts to your students if Apple did as you were thinking? 
I don't know about you, but I'd rather take the students to an apple orchard and have them do some physical activity (pick apples), eat some good food (apples right off the tree are just amazing), see nature and agriculture and get some fresh air. (it also works for Peach, Pear or other fruit)
(my misses thinks otherwise )
We live in MA, and we have quite a few Apple stores and many Apple orchards around here. U-Pick is very big here, and schools take the kids there, and they love it!

If I had the class I had last year, I would jump all over this, but the students I have this year are too special ed (very medically involved) so field trips are out of the question)
Good post OP.

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

First if your brat's teacher deserve that kinda raise then you or most people will not be able to afford to send them to school. Just because you can't handle your brats doesn't mean they derserve 400% to 500% raise. It just means you need to go to a parenting class to learn to control your brats. Next time think about what you comment.
Personal attacks aren't too cool. As far as the field trip .... can you say indoctrination.
I know docdave got it first but i wanted to voice my opinion too.
