How does neoliberalism influence and contribute to the privatization of public education? Provide specific examples of what this looks like as discussed in class and in the readings! ]]> 2023-03-02 02:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2500429667 Neoliberalism zoilabeltran1 https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2571342287 Neoliberalism is a set of economic, political, policies and ideologies that emphasize free market capitalism, individualism, deregulation, reduction in government spending on public goods and services, etc. How neoliberalism influences and contributes to the privatization of public education through the use of charter schools. Charter schools are one of the examples since it is a school that receives public funding and it is considered a school of choice. The article “How School Choice Turns Education Into a Commodity” discusses how schools were treated as businesses through school choice, how it leads to issues such as inequalities, and why it is affecting the education system. As well in the reading “From Katrina to Maria: Disaster Capitalism’s Playbook for School Reform”, since it compared the crisis of both hurricanes in New Orleans and Puerto Rico but in different years, for schools in New Orleans there were no proper help and services school children with medical conditions and this is very harmful to them if they do not receive any proper care, in both New Orleans and PR disaster capitalists were forcing private charter schools believing that it would benefit the education system. Another example is based on what we discussed in class on differences between certain programs (i.e. nursing, social work, etc) in private and public colleges, let’s say a student wants to major in nursing and applies to either a private or public college, for private college the student is immediately in the program and are offered to take courses to complete their degree in advance, while in public college again the student is into nursing however they have to complete the prerequisites offered at the school to complete in order to continue with the program. ]]> 2023-04-28 05:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2571342287 Yasin K. yasinkhalil2525 https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2572751806 Neoliberalism influences and contributes to the privatization of public education by many public schools in poor neighborhoods being left out with no support from the government regarding the public school funding's. However, Many wealthy/rich neighborhoods were receiving more school funding's for the schools causing a greater increase for the schools to stay open to provide the best educational support for these students whereas the poor neighborhoods schools were shutting down. An example that can relate to the privatization of public education is from the article "How Schools Choice Turns Education into a commodity, Turner" where Blakely shows how the wealthier neighborhoods would receive greater funds for public schools, no support for markets who are currently struggling with financial issue, and schools in poor neighborhoods were receiving no funds which can lead to school closures if nothing is provided by the government. Another example is from the article "From Katrina to Maria: Disaster Capitalism's Playbook for School Reform" where Davis has explained how schools in poor neighborhoods in New Orleans were receiving no funds after hurricane Maria disaster causing the school to lose its building. Students were put in schools far from home causing parents to struggle taking their kids to schools if no bus or transportation is provided, School nurses were fired from their jobs which makes it tough for students to receive medical needs, and disability students had no support and were being left out. If no funding are being given to any schools there will be no education for any students to receive which may cause a struggle for many in their future. It is important the government takes action to help fix the economy so that no state is experiencing any financial crisis for any schools, businesses, housings that would lead to a financial crisis for any resident experiencing this type of situation. ]]> 2023-04-30 01:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2572751806 endym26 https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2578461602 Neoliberals are a form of social economic stratification that forms social class with sets of economic policies and ideologies that substitute a person's experience. For example, the competition with free market capitalism, individualism, and meritocracy. There can be many conflicts that come with this being capitalism those distributions of schools, transportation, libraries, and communities center are just getting a small portion of what needs to be contributed to society. Schools like public schools are being affected by this and they want to contribute and make a profit like charter schools which people consider better education. When reading “How School Choice Turns Education into Commodity” Jason Blakely talks when the quote phrased that economic inequality is the cost of individual liberty. It’s trying to say that those who live in low-poverty communities must contribute pay for that education to prosper or change the system. I think is wrong I feel like neoliberalism tries to set up rules of conformity that people from the poor working class are mostly affected by compared to those who have the resources to obtain that.]]> 2023-05-04 15:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2578461602 Fatema M. fatemamia https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2582362421 According to the article, Neoliberization has contributed to privatizing public educational institutions following government-oriented policies to support poor neighborhood communities. On the other hand, Neoliberization has advocated for the freedom of choice regarding the education system available, either online or studying from home options, because most of the schools from wealthy families were continuously getting financial support from the government, while schools characterized by lower social, economic status were almost closing. For instance, Turner discussed the privatization of schools in the book “How Schools Choice Turns Education into Commodity”. Again, Trump was also influential in improving public schools through privatization policies. Blakely has also justified that schools from affluent areas would get heavy funding from the government while poor public neighborhood schools are not supported in either way. 

According to the article, “From Katrina to Maria, Disaster Capitalism’s Playbook for School Reform”, in New Orleans, public schools were not getting financial support even after the hurricane, which had destroyed structural buildings. Again, the disaster made students enroll in schools away from residential areas, thus increasing transport expenses. In the public health sector in schools, nurses were sent home, subjecting people with disability to delayed medical services. Public schools rely on government funding to provide for daily operational expenses. 

Neoliberization has contributed to the closure of public schools and the opening of charter schools with unequal selection for student admission. Again, charter schools are based on testing policy, thus targeting talented students, and ignoring those with physical and mental conditions. Poor disaster management in New Orleans has affected public schools; meanwhile, reviewing public policies would increase funding for academic institutions. The federal government is responsible for adjusting to the economic crisis facing schools, households, and market forces. Finally, the Trump administration has focused on improving the quality of public-school services, including medical healthcare, targeting those children with chronic conditions. Disaster capitalists have adopted a new approach of freedom of choice regarding learning priorities and the categorization of academic institutions.

This can be an advantage for many people that wants to create social and economic progress for society that takes over public sphere especially for places like public education. Investors think is okay to make profit out of places that children need to get their education and special needs such as medical attention. Examples, that we see in todays society is less protection that  children of color in poor environments might not have. Also in the text, "From Katrina to Maria.." the author explained how parents have to experience the most to take their children to school because transportation is not available for them. This also happens a lot in our society because certain young children who attend childcare do not have the opportunity to have one around their community. So, parents are roaming constantly taking them to childcare because is far. People who live in low poverty communities always have to experience negative effects and the system always promises but never does anything as a positive result.  I think there can be better ways to resolve this issue instead of taking children education that may lead to increased poverty, or unemployment. ]]> 2023-05-09 17:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2584207690 Jeancarlos Flores floresjeancarlos61 https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2584900684 The privatization of public education, which may have negative socioeconomic effects, is influenced by neoliberalism. This may be advantageous for many people who desire to advance society's social and economic conditions, particularly in areas like public education. Reading How School Choice Makes Education a Product" The statement that the price of individual liberty is economic inequality is made by Jason Blakely in his speech. It is aiming to emphasize that in order to flourish or alter the system, residents of low-poverty areas must pay for their own education. Neoliberalism is a term that is currently used to describe market-oriented reform strategies that include eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers, and reducing state influence in the economy, particularly through privatization and hardship. The impacts of globalization and neoliberalism affecting education is that the internationalization of the areas covered in a school course of study is receiving more attention as a result of the globalization of the world economies. Additionally, it opens up possibilities for new collaborations in research and education with organizations and institutions around the globe.  From Katrina to Maria: Disaster Capitalism's Playbook for School Reform" by Davis, who describes how schools in impoverished New Orleans communities received no funding after hurricane Maria caused the school to lose its facility. Students were assigned to schools that were far from their homes, making it difficult for parents to transport their children to school in the absence of a bus or other form of transportation. School nurses were also fired, making it difficult for students to get the medical care they need. Finally, students with disabilities received no support and were excluded. The lack of finance for schools will prevent students from receiving an education, which could make life difficult for many in the future. Overall the goal of neoliberalism as a school policy was to redesign and create better educational chances, particularly for students of color living in underprivileged neighborhoods. ]]> 2023-05-10 05:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2584900684 Samantha figueroa samantha_figueroa https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2585933587 Neoliberalism has influenced and contributed to the privatization of public education as it impacts the stakes of a child's education. Neoliberalism has caused different outcomes for students based on their economic status. As neoliberalism focuses to improve the education system it causes challenges, with students having to pay for resources that are essential for them to succeed. For example, how the article describes how the people from Puerto Rico were given the opportunity for their children to attend a charter school yet they aren't given transportation to attend. Leading students to find means to pay for transportation instead of prioritizing their money for other necessities that some students may not have compared to others. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2585933587 williamsshaquasia https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2598900880 Neoliberalism influences and contributes to the privatization of public schools by having profit be the main goal, not really helping the school community. Racial neoliberalism and the push for privatization are about making money and separating students by class and race. Although it isn't plainly stated, it is evident in the way schools are developed and organized. Neoliberalism means that the essence of democracy is about making money. As so is Capitalism. It is for profit, the economics it creates drives politics, and the disciplinary actions held against certain races, mainly Black students, prep them for incarceration; which is a lucrative business. Private troubles aren't incorporated in public structures or the public structuralized institutions, therefore, creating social issues. Neoliberalism and capitalism go hand in hand. If my parents have more money than your parents, I will be able to go to a better quality school, maybe privatized with better quality educators; because they can pay them more with all the tuition they charge, and the schools have an abundance of resources available to them. Meanwhile, your parents are poor so, you have to go to the run-down public school in the neighborhood you reside in which is a lower social class, they barely have teachers, and there are always substitute teachers or a teacher teaching a subject they did not specialize in so the lesson for the class is mediocre and agenda based. I can relate to the lower social class experience. The primary features of neoliberalism are free market capitalism, competition, individualism, meritocracy, de-regulation, and reduction in government spending on public goods and services. For example, shelters, affordable housing public schooling in this case, parks, community centers, libraries, etc. With that being said, once the budgets are cut privatization of public schools happens. Charter schools are created and funded, public schools are left in the dust with the students who attend them. At its essence, incentivizing the privatization of public education doesn't address social inequalities. Education becomes a commodity instead of a basic necessity that should be financially allocated equally to ensure that students have a fair educational experience.]]> 2023-05-21 16:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2598900880 Neoliberalism Destiny Rodriguez destinyrodriguez226 https://padlet.com/alyssalyons1/rzx7cfzudeytk7ii/wish/2599037849 Neoliberalism influences and contributes to the privatization of public education by advertising education as an investment and marketing education overall. By presenting education as something that is to be bought to ensure the best education is received neoliberalism uses education as a commodity rather than as a human right/need. From the readings we see an article by Jonita Davis and talking about how the capitalist are profiting off of hurricane Maria. Rather than freeing Puerto Rico from the states Trump proposes on sending charter school programs to “help” Puerto Rico and fix its education system, a system that does not need fixing as from the video we watched in class demonstrated how much Puerto Rican teachers care for their students and how much their students loved going to school before hurricane Maria had hit the island. There was so much evidence of how tightly knit the community was all together and how upset they are by these new charter schools coming to take over, rather than putting the money and dedication to fixing their school builds, schools that already showed just how great they were doing, these new charter schools will swoop in and reform all that the students already know and what they are used to. The more we discuss charter schools the more I think back on the charter school project I did and our talk about charter schools and how they connect with neoliberalism, with these charter schools that treat education as something to compete for, when did education stop being about education? How is it fair that capitalism has been allowed to change the structures of school so much?

Completion, individualism, and reduction in government spending on public goods and services. Thus, neoliberalism influences the idea that public education should be privatized because it is a public good and under neoliberalism it is believed that the government should reduce their spending on public services like schools. This looks like the expanding market and apple of charter schools. A prime example is Puerto Rico and how charter schools have fully replaced public schools. This not only allows governments to be able to put less of their money into schools but also always capitalism to manifest into schools. Charter schools cause competition due to the lottery system to get into them. As Jason Blaskely puts it “in the neoliberalism view, if your public institutions and spaces don’t resemble markets, with a range of consumer options, then you aren't really free” (2017). It is in this sense that charter schools work so well with neoliberalism because they resemble markers and make education a commodity. However, this only makes it harder for people of lower social class to afford and have access to education.

The concept views education as a commodity rather than a public benefit, and advocates for market forces and private sector involvement in education. The authors of "From Katrina to Maria: Disaster Capitalism's Playbook for School Reform" by The People's World claim that disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Maria have been used to push neoliberal policies in education. They claim that these crises acted as a spur for privatization, with public educational institutions closing or being taken over by private corporations. It is known as disaster capitalism, entails the closure of public education institutions and the rise of charter schools and voucher programs, which frequently prioritize profit over children' educational needs. The essay explains how this strategy perpetuates educational inequities by selective selection students, increasing segregation, and prioritizing financial benefits over educational success.

Neoliberalism is guided by capitalism and the reduction of spending on government public goods, including fundamental human rights such as education, therefore, they have privatize it in the forms of private and charter schools and even public schools because they are based on the income of people which should not be funded like that. 

For instance in the article schools choice, it states that they want to make school profitable because it is considered a market, that it why they see schooling not as a way to educate people but to take some profit out of it. An example is the rising of charter schools and private schools or that the government choosing to build more hotels for tourists and not more schools as read in the article about the hurricane Katrina
