Manufacturing Problems and Selling Solutions: How To Succeed in the Education Business without Really Educating.
Tanner, Daniel
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n3 p188,189-94,96-202 Nov 2000

Unregulated, profit-oriented market models are inappropriate for public schools responsible for serving the social good. Privatization and techno-efficiency pressures are equally counterproductive.
