Abstract
On either side of the Atlantic, neoliberalism is engulfing schools with a tsunamic magnitude. In the United States under certain provisions of the 2001 No Child Left Behind there is a pernicious government disinvestment in public schools on the one hand, and an insurgency of capitalist private take overs, on the other. In the United Kingdom, under provisions of the largely controversial Academies Act 2010, the coalition government is continuing with New Labour's structural transformation of schools. It should be noted that this brutish transformation is backed by certain legislation and that other previous legislation while still active will need to be interpreted in a way that is responsive to current trends. In terms of policy and practice, special/inclusive education has been left basking in the bashing climate of neoliberalism.
