You know, something about that idea... really creeps me out.
I can't quite put my finger on it though. Partly because of how many nine year olds would suddenly get the diet-coke/mentos trick. That's going to be an ulgy mess.
Partly because, this technology freaks me out, in multiple ways still.
And thirdly, because I can't help but imagine that little 'extras' might find their way in. It's probably nothing, but the idea of a little something buried in the math section that's got nothing to do with math, really freaks me out. And that's not counting the idea of complete hacks. Suddenly, your lesson about conservation of mass is replaced by a StelOil ad, encouraging you to trust Noah Scott, for he is the One True Bussiness Man.
OK, so it most definitely wouldn't be that, but you get the idea.
I know that the tech doesn't work that way, but you see one hypnotoad, and then- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
But seriously, I don't think this tech would be seeing a use like that until, what, the 2030s? You'd have to make it safe, affordable, and secure. Then you get to convince everyone else that it's safe and secure. Then you have to shell out constant protection money for the servers, constantly keep track of who's 'donating' and keep an eye on your coders/teachers.
Point blank, if I had a kid, I'd think very hard about having them use this system.
