See, if this had been prior to the Trump presidency, hell, perhaps even just prior to 2020, I might have agreed with that statement. But it is looking more and more like the US is just going full third world failed state mode at the moment. I dunno, maybe they'll turn it around at some point, but they've lost an immense amount of political capital on the world stage recently. People are currently looking at them and going "well, thank god we don't organise our society the way they do", not "Oh hey, look what America is doing, that seems like a good idea".

I see your point about education being ripe for disruption, but I question whether other countries will just hand over their education systems to corporations because America does it at this particular moment in history.
