But the liability negotiation could be a lot easier. Rather than
dealing with the public school bureacracy (which has to manage dozens
of schools in a given district) and with an elected school board (all
the members of which tend to have their own particular hot buttons),
it's more like dealing with a business. You have one decision maker
to convince rather than dozens. The public schools are, in general,
underfunded, understaffed, and serve very many masters (not only the
school board, but also, the city, county, state, and feds all weigh
in on what the schools should be doing with those insufficient
resources) tend to have a lot of inertia and not interested in
unuusal things that add work. It's a struggle to keep up with their
"official" responsibilities. So, unless you have some advocates in
the right places, it's going to be tough.
