Abstract
This essays argues that conconsumerism eclipses our collective ability to \npursue and create a healthy public realm, and that education should function as a \nmeans of critiquing and resisting, rather than facilitating, this process. As schools \nturn increasingly to alternative revenue sources, corporate logos and brands populate \nhallways and classrooms, school buses and gymnasiums, textbooks and yearbooks.It draws on Jean Baudrillard’s identification of our changing relationship with symbolic meaning and the emergence of a new visual consumer culture in order to demonstrate the miseducative effects of consumerism and to highlight the ways schools have begun to acquiesce to, rather than resist, these phenomena. This article aims to bring academic recognition to school commercialism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
