Geographic Terms: Chicago (Ill.), Illinois, New Orleans (La.), Louisiana, United States
Abstract: The article looks at how the privatization of education has become more aggressive in the U.S. whereby allowing businesses to revision the educational system as they see fit. Educational management organizations (EMO) are increasing in number but have not outpaced publicly managed school districts. The U.S. No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is, the author feels, an inadequate measure of school quality because its standards would have many schools categorized as failing. Renaissance 2010 is a legislative measure in Illinois that calls for the closure of 100 public schools which will later be reopened as charter schools. The state of the schools in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, Louisiana is also examined because companies there have tried to make a profit via education.
