It's complex, but it's that what governments exist for? Solving large complex problems for the greater good? 1) Totally agree, there needs to be competition and humility to say, "Hey our regions Math book is inferior, let's use X". 2) Absolutely and I don't mean to dismissively hand wave away the hard work that will be required ("just code the app" is a good comparison) but rather trying to simply state another direction to take. It requires money, but I think less than many suspect (without the publishers margins!). But the investment would pay for itself and would be a good _start_ to tackling the inflated costs of education.
