>Something about the school procurement process that knocks all the nuance or subtlety out of the goals. The people authorizing the deals, administrators and school boards, aren't incentivized to improve outcomes, they're incentivized to make the people who put them there seem like they're doing something valuable. If parents could choose the schools they were sending their children to, instead of being saddled with whomever the state has appointed to run a particular school, they'd pick schools for which evidence has proven better outcomes. Sure, they might be swayed by flashy tech, but as other comments have said the push for tech didn't largely come from parents.
