These 54 teachers were hand-picked from a pool of 5,000 applicants to come to the building and meet with the people who create the software. It's a yearly event they do. They're hardcore, award-winning teachers. Right, well, colour me skeptical. Did they all get their crackerjack boxes?

There are massive, massive achievement gaps, and at least in the US - the best schools in terms of bang for their buck are the Catholic schools, who routinely outperform public schools that spend 4-5x as much as we do.

So if your program manages to halve that gap, congratulations. You've made an amazing contribution to learning, so that the public schools are falling behind less slowly than before.

Probably a dildo and duct tape. Pencil, paper, whiteboard, whiteboard eraser, whiteboard markers. I think my overall school budget comes out to around a couple bucks per student. How much again does your toy cost?
