Ad_Astra, I agree with you. There are two tracks of innovation for education.

    Track 1: Fixing existing system
    Track 2: Building new educational stack
First track can lead to faster traction. But the "Google of education" is likely to be born on the second stack.

There's so much regulation & inertia with Track 1 that I'd lean to Track 2. In fact, I've already started taking a whack at it.
