90% to 95% of everything we're blowing money on in education just ain't working.

It was a waste of time.

It was a waste of money.

And it's a zero-sum game.

The $21 billion that went into building tech infrastructure for schools necessarily did not go to training new teachers, to increasing the pay rate of current teachers, to lessening workload.

So if we can stop new tech, do an audit, figure out what's working, and then the government has to build a tech database.

Basically, that says, you cannot ever go to a school with your product until you have met these standards of safety, of efficacy, and privacy, basically, what's going on in the background of your tool.

And that's got to be hardcore.

So basically, you just regulate it like you would medicine or anything else.

Put some limits on what do we expect from these tools.

If they're doing worse than a pen and paper, then no, it doesn't belong in the school.

If you can genuinely prove benefit, then we'll have a chat.

But go back to the personal level.

This is us as parents now is...

Step one, buy a printer.

It's like the easiest, stupidest idea.

But if you can make your house analog like you've done, that's the best way to get your kids ready to do analog work at school.

So we print everything out.

You got homework, print it.

You got to read, print it.
