Corporations in the Classroom
Description
Corporations in the Classroom investigates the pros and cons of increasing corporate influence on public education in North America. When public education funding was slashed in the 1980s, America opened its doors to the deep pockets of corporations. As Canadian schools faced budget shortfalls a decade later, most of the country followed suit. This documentary focuses on the cash-strapped schools that have had to struggle to pay for books and classroom materials, and the corporate sponsors that have stepped up to the plate to offer promotions, sponsorships, and even free curriculum. With virtually no regulation in place, the line between corporate social responsibility and backdoor marketing opportunities is blurring.
