Summary Note
"Conclusions: My research in the United States showed clearly that in the absence of a strong public education system, corporations and neoliberal agendas flourish. Australians need to be aware that in such environments continual untested experimentation can put student learning in jeopardy. Neoliberal reforms in the US — as well as in Third World countries targeted by edubusiness - have tended to unfairly target and take root in the most disadvantaged communities, and teachers, unions and government have a responsibility to act as guardians against such exploitative agendas." - p. 4.
