If you prove results, it's a question of figuring out how to work politics. But first you gotta prove results.
Changing education systems is a long process, but simply saying anything without a payback for all students within a 12-24 month timeframe, although aligned with the values of tech, is not a helpful model in education.
Policy decisions in education take 5-20 years to make, but they do get made. The slowness is a function of how long it takes to see impact (and not wanting to hurt students). If we could put all politics aside, the model would be:
* Develop a model (1-4 years)
* Pilot it (2-4 years)
* Research it (2-4 years)
* Scale it (many years)
Simply saying we won't do #1 or #2 since it isn't #4 isn't productive.
Why not ask OP why they made up a figure that isn’t in the actual post “$200+/mo service”? That is no where in the post OP is commenting on.
