• 摘要註: Although educational philanthropy accounts for just a fraction of educational spending in theU.S., its institutions have recently acquireddisproportionate influence and control over educationalpolicy and practice. The Gift of Education is the first book to dissect the new "venture philanthropy" in education. It evaluates the educational and socialimplications of private super-rich donors leading reform to K-12, teacher education, and higher education. Challenging common representationsofthe new philanthropy as primarily about care, generosity, and opportunity, Satlman argues that thenew philanthropy is at the forefront ofa movement to undermine universal public education at multiplelevels.That is, venture philanthropy is contributing to both the privatization of public schooling as well as the transformation of public schoolingon the model of corporate culture - from charter schools to voucher schemes, from the remaking of teacher education and educational leadership to making students into consumers, knowledge into commodities, and classrooms into boardrooms. Educatire philanthropy is contributing to both the privatization of public schooling as well as the transformation of public schoolingon the model of corporate culture - from charter schools to voucher schemes, from the remaking of teacher education and educational leadership to making students into consumers, knowledge into commodities, and classrooms into boardrooms. Educationalphilanthropy that appears almost exclusively in mass media and policy circles as selfless generosity poses significant threats to the democratic possibilities and realities ofpublic education. Thoughfocused on educational philanthropy, Saltman addresses much broader questions about the ideologicalagendas at the center of philanthropic giving, the educational and political implications of the privatization of public schooling, the assumptions behind educational obligations, and the roles that schools play in democratic societies.
