What role does business play in schools? Peter Curran stops off in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to find out, as he continues his road trip across the fascinating landscape of American education, in ‘Education USA’.

In Las Vegas, he visits a McDonalds 'McTeachers Night' and More…follows an elementary class as they go on a business sponsored field trip to a casino.

Peter then travels on to LA to meet Lowell Milken who, together with his brother Michael, the 80's junk-bond trader, have set up California Virtual Academies, a group of privately run, publicly funded online schools.
