Abstract: Ongoing concerns about budgets and accountability have accelerated tendencies to model education after the values of the free market, prioritizing efficiency and customer satisfaction while treating education itself as a commercial transaction. Adopting this framework frays the moral fabric of education and shortchanges students who are configured as consumers to please rather than characters to build.
