Great!  Who will capture this work on the teachers' behalf?  I don't

I'm not going a decision-maker on this, but I think it'd be a mistake
to waste your time on convincing the powers that be.  Let the
teachers/school lead that effort (of course assisting as need be).  I
don't think lack of support is a roadblock at all.  Benign neglect is
the best we should plan for.
