This is a sobering story, well told. Do you know about the Medium publication @AgeofAwareness? it's large (I believe c. 30,000 followers) and nominally about educational reform but in fact about all kinds of ed-related topics. If you plan to write more about education, consider asking to be added as a writer (if you aren't one now). Its readers are very engaged and interested in the kinds of topics you write about, and I think you'd find a receptive audience there.
