I'm not involved with this startup, but I did hear a bit about it from someone who was at the StartupWeekend in Seattle where it was realized.
From what I remember, they did have a teacher on the team - and were recognized as one of the stronger groups for this reason.
Also, I don't see any information about it on the site, but I think that one feature of the site may be that the teacher's bosses (department heads? headteachers?) can review all the communications. Hopefully that mitigates the legal risks a little - even if only because teachers would be more careful about what they text.
- kabuks 15y agoWe came out of the MEGA startup weekend that was in mountain view last month. And we had a great teacher on our team who was part of Teach for America. You are also correct, our school plans give admins and other teachers read-only access to all communication. The idea is that the transparency will protect teachers from any appearance of impropriety.
