I don't understand what Palmer did wrong. When a business fails, we should try to understand why, so that others don't throw away time and money making the same mistakes.
And his argument, "disrupting school was a terrible strategy" but doesnt elaborate why..

"$174M lessons here. We passed on @Altschool multiple times, mainly because disrupting school was a terrible strategy, but also b/c founders didn’t understand #edtech is all about partnering w/existing districts, schools and educators (not just “product”)"
anyways, i think the real issue here is just the emptiness of it. Anyone can brag they knew (or pretend they knew) that a business would fail after it already did.
and hes not providing insight. Just, it was "Terrible" and they "did it wrong".
But 160 characters is plenty of room to pay yourself on the back publicly and feed your own ego.
