As for the final feedback on leaving the group instruction and taking a more B2C Duolingo approach (coupled with live actors), I think that's an interesting thought (and I LOVE Duolingo). I just do not philosophically want to start in the B2C go-to-market space. Majority of the kids we serve come from Title 1 schools (low income families). Presuming access to internet or even access to quiet reading space is something that doesn't always reflect the students we serve. 65% of NYC public schools are Title 1 schools. The equity aspect of being part of structured classroom time is really important to me at this time. Doesn't mean we cannot add B2C down the road though! By the way, The 'Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer' looks dope! Just purchased on amazon to check it out!

Given your interest in hiring art and theatre professionals to support education I think you'll love The Diamond Age. It's so relevant to what you're doing I'd assumed you must have already read it!
