I found the game to be very interesting and well thought out. In the days that followed playing the game, I had one recurring and discouraging thought: Educational change can be a huge waste of time. I mean the beaurocratic undertones of the game became downright annoying. "Communicate with so and so and so and so will be on board. Make sure you report to him so that he likes us." While that is a reality in many facets of life, it is annoying and can bog a good group down.
The other conclusion that we were suppose to reach from this game is that change is slow. Well, sometimes change is too slow, especially when it comes to pleasing the right people just to get ahead. On the other hand, slow change can be good if it means that education can avoid disasters such as ebonics and the bad fuzzy math. (Some fuzzy math ideas are valid.)
