Q That's Chad Wilson with Immersion Ed, the other EdTech founder this season. We asked him the same question. Do you play within the current system and make it better? Or you just, just like Hulk smash the entire thing and start over?
A So it's, it's an interesting question, right? I think that ultimately trying to Hulk smash the education system is different from trying to Hulk smash a non-government sponsored Industry in the same way. And so I think the reality of the world is something that you need to function within. And so when I hear people saying, oh, well, let's just get rid of the whole system. I'm like, first of all, do you know the turmoil you would cause in the interim period and the amount of damage you would cause there? I think I'm very wary of that. I, I think that what you do see though, is that there are systems within education that foster more innovation and those lead to change. And so say Immersion Ed ends up being a gigantic smash hit in charter schools and private schools and homeschooling. That will make its way to districts down the line as a result, but it wouldn't necessarily, there's a chance that that's where it thrives initially more so.
