Not defending this kid's background or intentions, but credentials and accountability for all school officials/teachers are important.

You don't have to have PhD level education to be a good teacher, most of us can point to non-professionals that molded our lives, but some standards are needed.

Am quite sure many will point to this guy as a scammer while ignoring the huge corporate scheme that has drained our educational system in the name of parental choice for charter schools.
