The Education-Industrial Complex is a greater threat to the United States than the Military-Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned about. ----- As with formation of the military-industrial complex, the rise of this self-perpetuating process is fed by greed, power, and for some, the illusion of reform. It has grown because of major public indifference towards educating someone else’s children plus confusion spawned by propaganda about the quality of public schools. The trick has been keeping us reaching for “higher” quality education as judged by the standards set by the complex itself. The problem produced is one the public knows as education “fads.” Industry experts and consultants have created, again and again, the next best tool to improve education and education vendors sell their products and services to those who most desperately want to do the best they can for their students — and now by law must prove they do.
