  • Private Enterprise in American Education
    Private Enterprise in American Education A MERICAN E NTERPRISE I NSTITUTE Special Report 7 Focus on For-Profits in K–12 Education Misses the Real Divide Alex Hernandez | November 2012 Special Report 7 Private Enterprise in American Education Foreword For decades, for-profit educational provision has been merely tolerated, often grudgingly. In the world of charter schooling, for-profit providers are lambasted and sometimes prohibited. In higher education, for- profit institutions have grown rapidly, enrolling millions of nontraditional students and earning enmity, suspicion, and now investigative and regulatory actions from the federal government. When it comes to student lending, teacher quality, and school turnarounds, there is a profound preference for nonprofit or public alternatives. All of this is so familiar as to be unremarkable. The problem is that K–12 and higher education are desperately in need of the innovative thinking and nimble adaptation that for-profits can provide in a landscape characterized by healthy markets and well-designed incentives. As critics have noted, for-profits do indeed have incentives to cut corners, aggres- sively pursue customers, and seek profits. But these traits are the flip side of valuable characteristics: the inclination to grow rapidly, readily tap capital and talent, maximize cost effectiveness, and accommodate customer needs. Alongside nonprofit and public providers, for-profits have a crucial role to play in meeting America’s 21st-century educational challenges cost-effectively and at scale. However, we rarely address for-profit provision in this fashion. Most statutory and regulatory discus- sion focuses on how to rein in for-profit providers, largely ignoring what it would take to harness the potential of such providers while establishing the incentives and accountability measures to ensure a level, dynamic, and performance-oriented playing field.

Billions of sensors collect data from smartphones, smart homes, smart cars, med- ical devices, and an evolving assortment of consumer and commercial products. But, what are these data trails to the Fourth Amendment? Does data emanating from devices on or about our bodies, houses, things, and digital devices fall within the Fourth Amendment’s protection of “persons, houses, papers, and effects”? Does interception of this infor- mation violate a “reasonable expectation of privacy”? This Article addresses the question of how the Fourth Amendment should protect “smart data.” It exposes the grow- ing danger of sensor surveillance and the weakness of current Fourth Amendment doctrine. The Article then suggests a new theory of “informational curtilage” to protect the data trails emerging from smart devices and reclaims the principle of “informational security” as the organizing framework for a digital Fourth Amendment.

It has several apps loaded, like a smartphone, for playing all sorts of content from the internet. • You can control smart TVs with fancy remote controls, and many can also be controlled using your voice. Many smart TV can be • The most popular apps on smart TVs include ABC controlled using your voice iView, Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. These are usually pre-installed on a new smart TV. Other apps can be installed from the TV’s app store. • While it’s usually most convenient to connect a smart TV to Wi-Fi, most smart TVs also include a wired network socket. • Smart TVs show special controls on their screen when you press the Home button. These might be a ribbon of options across the bottom or other icons or small panels from which you can choose programs or services. • If your TV does not connect to the internet, it is not a smart TV.
