Business and Schools: Cartoons*
Most of the cartoons I have found about business involvement in K-12 schools scold corporations for seeking profits in schools and students.
Some cartoonists see business-inspired reformers reshaping school practices and how teachers are paid. Such as the following.
And other cartoonists see the pervasiveness of economist thinking in policymaking (i.e., importance of building human capital to better compete globally) and the spread of market-based ideas in schools and among children.
It goes without saying that I have yet to find any cartoons pointing out contributions of business to schools.
