Abstract | This article discusses how the private management of public schools, charter schools, home schooling, and virtual schools is impacting the art education of students. In a growing number of locations throughout the U.S., education has been taken out of the public realm and recast as a consumer product by various private school choice programs. The author contends that, given the quantity and quality of information available, parents, as consumers, have been put at a great disadvantage when trying to make sound decisions regarding the art portion of their children's education. The private school administrators hold the lion's share of the power. A market system that is sold on its ability to be sensitive to parental concerns but also allows the continuation of the current breach between what parents claim is important to them and what is being offered by schools is simply not working and may have damaging implications not only for the place of visual art in education, but for that of any curricular feature of an educational product that could be edited out by entrepreneurial, private school decision-makers operating in a competitive economic environment virtually exempt from accountability to the public sector that is paying for the product.
