I'm not arguing against change. Im arguing against change without accountability and performance metrics. This is what happens now in most cases. Tax payers are then left to guess if their indirect investments in technology are worth it.

I'm arguing against tech change blindly initiated by educrats who are easily suckered by sales pitches at conferences. This is also what is happening now with such a low barrier of entry to edtech market.

EdTech right now appears to be the wild west with a lot of startups/VC now chasing around dollars of typically uninformed and naive school district officials who will throw the budget towards any shiny new toy or teachers who will sign up for any cool freemium service.

All of this experimentation is often occurring with ANY sort of cost-benefit analysis or performance benchmarking.

On top of that it experimentation on -- human children!
