Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of legitimacy of education, using the current development of American educational policy and the defect of the security of learning rights of children in Chicago City as a material. In the United States, standard-based education policy accelerated based on the NCLB method of 2002, a“Race to the Top” policy of 2009 and a“the NCLB Waiver”of 2011. Parallel to it, the influence of an education company and the huge foundation spreads under the name of public education reform, too. These developments in the United States caused a switch to an education governance structure based on neoliberalism in the case of Chicago, and in these situations, we should be concerned with“the agent”of the teacher and the decline of the specialty and the collapse of the public education. Therefore, the legitimacy of the education as a political process pointed to the necessity of verifying the existing governing body at the community level as a clue to achieving it based on securing publicity in the education and educational value.
