Abstract | The election of Barack Obama appeared to signal a shift in U.S. policy toward the Left, particularly since Obama has been framed as a "socialist," but the education discourse and policy pursued under Obama and voiced by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has shown that education reform remains in the midst of a powerful corporate model. This essay examines the corporate model for education reform against Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano, Foucault's (1984) confronting "the present scientifico-legal complex" (standardized testing), and the corrosive call for improving teacher quality--all of which work to replace public education with free-market competition and teachers as service workers. The piece ends with a call for educators and professional organizations to raise their voices against these reforms. (As Provided). |
