Oh boy when you find out about all the "edu-tech" companies that have sprouted up, creating "solutions" to non existent "problems". A lot of them also have family/friend relations to local governments :)

Want to do some good with your coding skills? Build open source edu-tech.

Imagine questioning the district on why they're spending so much when an open source options is both cheaper and better.

I imagine good edu-tech requires some expertise that not every open source developer has, though.

On the other hand, look at the massive amounts of high-quality data in something like Open Streetmap. It should be possible to do this.

They existed, they just didn't get adopted really. E.g. https://moodle.org/

There's so many ways of justifying not open source. Heck it's so easy to create FUD around open source projects.
