The American public school system is at a crossroad. One pathway is
decorated with signs and institutions that will lead public
education towards a destination of collective obligation,
accountability, and responsibility that is student-centered,
community-based, and driven by educators and parents working in the
best interest of students, families, communities, and the broader
society. The other pathway is littered with pamphlets, flyers, and
electronic billboards falsely advertising the merits of school
"choice." The direction American public schools appear to have
taken over the past few decades is increasingly dotted with charter
schools operated by for-profit multinational corporations, and
themed public schools. Increasingly, efforts to reform public
education in America resemble the business model made popular by
the founder of Wal-Mart, Sam Walton. Big Box Schools: Race,
Education, and the Danger of the Wal-Martization of Public Schools
in America examines the dangers of the Wal-Martization of American
public schools and highlights efforts to challenge policies and
practices which place greater emphasis on profits than on pupils.
