«I came into office thinking I knew everything I needed to know about the direction we needed to go with public education,» said Osmond, who served as CEO
of a for - profit education company... [After] a
dozen classroom visits and hundreds
of emails from educators, Osmond says he came to understand the challenges public school educators face in the course
of a typical day: overcrowded classrooms, outdated technology,
language barriers, behavioral issues, and students who are hungry and unbathed.
To this day, @folio has stayed a prototype, because
of lack
of funding and because
of the
language barrier, with only two articles in English for
dozens of articles in French.
