Er, so on point a), in order to collect and analyze data from a great big statistically significant sample, the data's going to have to be simple to the point of near-meaninglessness, because otherwise you'll never have the time and manpower to process it.
Also, there's no lab. Any time you want to do research, you need to find districts/schools/teachers to sign onto it, get various sorts of permissions, and get them to take time out of their ridiculously busy work lives to deal with you. This makes it really hard to get enough sites for your research, let alone geograpically/demographically/etc distributed the way you'd like.
