How has nobody said accounting yet. Even with quickbooks, it’s slow and dull.

Where are you? Could try a small claims court. The claim hinges on them misrepresenting the situation - so did they do that? Were you aware, and was it possible, for you to know what you got yourself into?

I don’t have solutions in mind, that wasn’t the question. But my thoughts were along the lines of:

• Education punishes the teacher, and by extension punishes the student
• Many states around the world fail to invest in it, to their detriment. Mainly because the perception is it’s all cost and no return; and yet the countries that invest in broad education prove this to be wrong.
• Good education is so rare, it’s usually prohibitively expensive.
• So most people get exhausted teachers, constrained, uncreative. Even the caring ones only have 5 mins to spare.

So it seems to me that a disruption might:

• Offer an alternative approach to teachers, that allows them to do their best work more easily through efficiencies, or aids, or reusable tools, or enhancements.
• Find ways to educate outside of the system without eroding the standard expected. If it works, it becomes the new normal. Maybe this is what “Academies” tried to do in the UK.
• Maybe link industrial benefits with educational costs. As part of a big industry employer, I am dependent on the school system to provide future skilled and capable employees. But it’s very hard to invest or support that system in a meaningful way.
• One option could be to sponsor school assignments, give young students real-life projects, but the sponor owns the IPR.

Hopefully that elaborates on the thinking, someone smarter than me is needed to spot the opportunity, one safe for the next generations of students, but also profitable, and make it work.

Would the teachers go for it, rather than the establishments? $100 a month to make your work/life balance more palatable?

I like this. With the model Uber etc have deployed, there’s no accountability aside from privately to Uber/Menulog on their terms. Ads would mean more stakeholders wanting to ensure that things are going smoothly. “Are you treating your drivers well? Do they drive well? My brand will not be associated with …”

The distance between eg HelloFresh and ordering your weekly groceries online is still too wide. Use AI to automate my groceries delivery to give me affordable meals that change from week to week. Let the supermarkets do the delivery, just manage the list for me, get me to review it and then done.

Whatever comes between being a sardine on public transport, or buying an overpriced EV that you don’t need. Like a premium Uber that takes 6 white collar workers from their close homes in a suburb to a city centre, in a Mercedes van with Wi-Fi.

Making educators lives easier somehow. Basic education is untapped, but there’s no money in it without massive scale.

Redisrupt food delivery. Restaurants, drivers and clients are now all beholden to like 5 rubbish firms. Restaurants get nothing other than bad reviews, drivers get stressed, client gets cold food delivered late with a $10 option to have it delivered on time.

Second vote for MAIB.

Not sure if this fits what you guys look for, but Synology Photos is brilliant. Self hosted yes, reliables yes, features & apps yes, expensive also yes.
