Across the U.S., test publishers, software companies, and research
firms are swarming to take advantage of the revenues made available
by the No Child Left Behind Act. In effect, the education industry
has assumed a central place in the day-to-day governance and
administration of public schools-a trend that has gone largely
unnoticed by policymakers or the press until now. Drawing on
analytic tools, Hidden Markets examines specific domains that the
education industry has had particular influence on-home schooling,
remedial instruction, management consulting, test development, data
management, and staff development. Burch's analysis demonstrates
that only when we subject the education industry to systematic and
in-depth critical analysis can we begin to demand more corporate
accountability and organize to halt the slide of education funds
into the market.
