I don't think you can give any higher compliment than that.
I spoke to Geoff briefly about Imagine K12 and I'm super excited about the idea. One of the biggest challenges with education startups is attracting hackers - why do you think that is?
I know when I was working on a "Youtube for Teachers," we spoke to about a dozen teachers and were turned off by how long it would take to actually get anyone to adopt our technology in the classroom. The connections to charter schools that Imagine K12 will give its companies will go a long way towards alleviating some of those turnoffs, so hopefully hackers will apply.
