"Why didn't a classroom teacher do what he did? Because our system does not reward teacher innovation and trying new things."

Because most people don't give a shit? Why doesn't every STEM graduate have the same ambitions as Elon Musk? The reality is that most people are too chicken shit to have their own interests and to pursue them in a serious way. You think throwing money at things solves problems?

A reward could just as well be encouragement rather than being looked down on or be perceived as arrogant.

How do you get people to encourage each other if they don't care to begin with?
