Soshiku comes to mind, especially because Andrew Schaper is only 18, I believe.

I'm a Canadian citizen (living in the Bay Area) working on an education startup, and believe me, this is a very good time to be "breaking into" education. There are several startups doing very interesting things in this space.

I'd be happy to share ideas and make introductions if you need them. my email is in my profile.

good luck!

"This is a very good time to be 'breaking into' education"

Agree. The economy is done. People are losing their job. People are losing faith at the education system that promised them jobs. So they look for alternatives.

I have talked to a few home school networks in the Bay. The need for revolutionary change is pretty urgent.

I couldn't find your email in your profile. I am looking at building a software package that is aimed at schools boards/schools as opposed to students. And that's why I was wondering if it's worth it.

Targeting schools and school boards is definitely much tougher than disrupting from the edge (i.e, individuals)

there is an email field in the hacker news profile, but it's only visible to the site admins. if you want other people to see it, you have to add it to the "about" field.
