#3I've played around with some of those proprietary (Pearson) school formats before, and they suck.
This is a world of change for school software development.

Sounds like a blast. Should I ever move out to the west coast, I'll have to check into Clever seriously

#5I wonder how some of the aspects of this works around FERPA (e.g. giving developers access to data)

Clever helps schools stay FERPA compliant. Our tech gives them fine-grained control over what data they share & where it goes. And all of the data sharing happens in a secure way (vs. the "email an Excel file" status quo).

So many of my teacher friends have showed me the high-priced software that often causes them problems, and I've been frustrated by how many entrenched vendors there are who are slow to innovate in this industry. All the best to Clever in their endeavors!

Since you are here, I have been following Clever and think it is a great idea. The only thing missing from the docs, is how do I get access to a school's data? In my use case, I would need to get class roster data for 1-10 teachers that use my product in their school. I communicate directly with the teachers, and from the docs, I have no idea how these teacher communicate with Clever to make this happen.

#9It's probably not important to them, as I'm not their target audience but I looked at their home page and their about page and that techcrunch article and still have no idea what they do.
