I had a conversation about 10 years ago with a high-ranking DoEd official in Obama’s administration who was gushing over 2 sigma as a strategic framing for public education. Now this person is a very influential funder in edtech and ed reform. I think their heart is in the right place but it’s kinda crazy how no one above the school principal level is actively building strategy or executing tactics to address the basics of a good learning disposition: sleep, nutrition, safety, etc. By the time the robo-tutor is perfected, normalized trauma is going to make it useless for most school kids.
