Reform Kahoot's Flawed Scoring System


Reform Kahoot's Flawed Scoring System
The issue
I am a resident of Australia and a regular user of Kahoot. Recently, I was deeply devastated when I was ranked lower than my female counterpart who was equally competent. This incident has led me to question the fairness of Kahoot's scoring system.
Kahoot is an educational platform that millions around the world use for learning and engagement. It is crucial that such platforms maintain an unbiased scoring system to ensure fair competition among all users regardless of their gender or any other factors.
However, it appears that there might be some discrepancies in how points are arranged on Kahoot. While it may not be intentional sexism, the impact on users like myself can be disheartening.
I have dug into the point system of Kahoot!, and the points are awarded by time, and while this may seem inconsequential, hear this.
Your have been positioned on the podium for the majority of this contest, and your predecessors are creeping closer and closer to you, even to a point of achieving identical points. Once the final question is answered, you were crestfallen to witness that you have been placed lower than others that were equally ranked in points.
My suggestion is to change the scoring system in relativity to the contestants of the competition. Instead of ranking by the time, they can rank by the number they submitted in (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) This can prove to be more fair towards the long run.
It is important for educational platforms like Kahoot to promote equality and fairness in all aspects - including its point system. A biased scoring system undermines the integrity of competitions.
Please sign my petition, to make adjustments to Kahoot!'s scoring system to promote equality and fairness.
