Abstract
This article investigates two aspects of corporate involvement in public education: commercialization of public schools and use of private companies to deliver instructional services or to manage schools. The extent of private investment in education and arguments for and against these activities are reviewed. Also explored are value conflicts among supporters and critics of such corporate involvement and implications of recent developments in this arena for the future of public education.Keywords
