Ravi then reflects on his own experiences founding schools, the ideological battles that helped him realize it was time to leave, and how his views on school choice have evolved over the past decade. Finally, Doug and Ravi discuss what it takes to build a thriving school system in 2025 and weigh the roles of autonomy, accountability, and community in ensuring lasting success.
