Oh and about the qualifications.

I will tell you right now, I have none.

I am just a high school teacher of students with special needs who looked around the platform and saw no one was doing anything to try and promote education and learning on the site.

So I decided to do something about it.

I found some others who valued education as well.

We put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to build the educational community from nothing. At first we used nothing but our own voting power to try and encourage teachers and students. Then I rented some voting power using my own money. I then searched for other votes to help support the teachers and students who were posting. Then I lobbied to be included as a Cuire supported community.

In short, @steemiteducation are just regular people who think education is important and are willing to sacrifice time, money, energy and sleep in order to build an educational community here.
