I am surprised this comment made it through the ASX Announcement Approval
"a clear bellwether that larger deployments of the KneoWorld into the New York public schoolsystem are very close and we look forward to reporting on this in the December 2022 quarter.”Seriously what does that mean? Larger deployments ? What more than 110 units?
It still doesn't address the fact that the report used the term "dangerous" when specifically talking about KNM technology.
You would think that the coy execs would want to address that as a matter of urgency, but no, what do they put out - a whole bunch of flowery gobbledgook like we are on AWS - well here is a news flash KNM, half the corporate world is on AWS!
The qtrly says 'we dont use blockchain' yet thats exactly what Frank Leiberman was trying to get up earlier this year at the Teachers Conference as a resolution-
As reported here:

TeachersForChoice.org
"There was opposition to this resolution as it was challenged on the floor of the national NAACP conference by a delegation out of Brooklyn. Frank Lieberman, who works full time for the educational technology (ed-tech) company KneoWorld, and also works closely with the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), was present at the conference and affiliated with the Brooklyn delegation. An amendment was proposed by a member from the Brooklyn delegation that would have allowed ed-tech companies (like Lieberman’s) to utilize blockchain digital identities for students. KneoWorld has a partnership with the NAACP and the digital gamified platform is being rolled out to special education students in NYC. This partnership dates back to June of 2018."in further scathing comments in the same report it goes on to say-
"‘Gamification’ of Education"
"Frank Lieberman’s KneoWorld represents the “gamification” of education as children are presented with various video game platforms as substitutes for traditional in-person education. With all of the knowledge and data we now have proving how addictive screen-time and video games are, especially for children, the motives behind education gamification must be questioned and closely examined.Frank Lieberman is a media and PR specialist. He was a marketing consultant for Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, two companies currently manufacturing COVID vaccines. Many decades ago he was involved in the initial rollout, sales programs and promotion of the drug valium (according to his bio on Linkedin). To see Lieberman now rolling out what many view as an extremely addictive new-age drug in the form of a gamified digital education platform is certainly eyebrow-raising, to say the least."There are some pretty ordinary comments about Frank Leiberman in the comments section of the article and i will let you folks go and read it rather than post here.
As i said the other day, KNM (IMHO) have a job cut out to get any serious sales, but from what have a read there will be a limited rollout of their tech to the Special Needs sector of the NYC Schools districts in the near future to further trial the 'product'
