I agree that there are many relatively untested changes. I do not expect all of them to make it through to the end product (assuming there is one). I have no idea if it’ll work, so I don’t know how it will grow. Maybe 300? Certainly not 1000. Possibly 30. Coming up on my to-do list is to speak with a bunch of people in my country who have founded schools. I plan to start this in a month or so, as the school year starts here next week, so they’re all pretty busy.
I want the thing to work. If the marketing goes well and 100 families want to enrol and I get some strong evidence that it’s no better or worse than public school, then I wouldn’t start it. I don’t know how I would know for sure that it’s no good without trying it, and even then I don’t know how I would know, given that I’d be so invested at that point that I certainly wouldn’t be seeing straight. Though if I thought (based on external sources) that it was working for the kids that attended, I’d happily keep it going with 20 kids.
Thank you for the comment!
