This work argues that private businesses use public schools as
worker training sites, resulting in a devalued teaching force,
students as uncritical consumers, and schools as economic markets.
Boyles analyzes school-business partnerships, revealing false
philanthropy and the ulterior motives behind fast-food reading
campaigns and supermarket "sales for schools" promotions. This
important book criticizes the practice of privatization itself,
revealing it to be a conservative gambit to secure class
differences, and not a simple extension of free market business
influence into the public sector.
