Students are "valuable assets" and "products," whose value is to be enhanced (see the definition of VAM) before being offered to employers. Parents are not citizens with rights, but "customers" who are provided "choices" that are in fact restricted to the decisions of those in charge, based on policies developed by an educational industrial complex made up of foundations, McKinsey-type consultants and captive academics. Get everyone to internalize the premises and language of so-called education reform: Get teachers and administrators, whether through extortion (see RttT funding) threats or non-stop propaganda, to accept the premises of "data-driven" everything, even when that data is irrelevant, opaque, contradictory, or just plain wrong. Arbitrarily impose cut scores on those exams that cast students, teachers and schools as failing, as was done by NYS Education Commissioner John King and Regent Meryl Tisch. Create teacher evaluations based on Common Core-related high stakes tests for which no curriculum has been developed. Create and maintain a climate of constant disruption and destabilization, with cascading mandates that are impossible to keep up or comply with. As part of that process, eliminate tenure, seniority and defined benefit pensions. Neutralize and eventually eliminate teacher unions (the first part largely accomplished in the case of the AFT).
Maintain a climate of scapegoating and witch hunting for "bad teachers," who are posited as the cause of poverty and student failure, doing everything possible to keep debate from addressing systemic inequities. Create incentives for non-educators to be in positions of power, from Assistant Principal on up. Proclaim austerity for the public schools, while continuing to expand charters.
