I totally agree with the your frustration over the technological barriers... you should not need a cell phone to survive/thrive in this world. We're designing a world where the concept of "affordance" is replaced by "dependence".

On the other hand, investing the $93k/year difference in the state/public institutions where your child might have gone seems like a better pathway to a win-win scenario.

(But, does this really make any sense when our learning institutions move at a bureacratic snails pace, and are bogged down by egos and other inefficiencies? Meh.)

Perhaps we should consider running learning-institutions like lean startups where, instead of success being measured by capital wealth, well-being and innovation are the KPIs.
