Why this petition matters

Started by Will Bolton

Salaman Kahn founded Khan Academy in the year 2008. In my mind, probably the second-worst learning platform, to i-Ready. In my case, as of today, people have been suffering this horrible-ness for 12 years. Has anyone here ever watched one of those videos? Most of it is Salaman Khan trying to find a new color for whatever he has to write next. It's horrible. Don't go and watch one, it's torture, but please hear me when I say this: I've probably seen 20 or 30 of those and I haven't learned one thing. It takes him 2 minutes to solve one problem that takes a 5th-grade level learner about 20 or 30 seconds. 

When you get just ONE question wrong, the whole thing makes you take the quiz again. It sucks, but not just to me. Over 10 million people subscribe to Kahn, and almost 10 times that number use it. With the long videos and unnecessary needed 100% test scores, an average lesson or video with a quiz takes around 10 or 15 minutes. Sometimes longer. Plus, some lessons are actually with 3 or 4 quizzes. And on average kids are assigned 5 to 10 lessons a week. That's over 2 hours of their young life they're spending learning nothing every week. And there is usually around 180 to 185 days in a school year, or 37 weeks, so that is around 80 hours of time spent on this useless website a school year.

I've actually only been using Kahn for about a year and a half and none of that is hard. Unless you support this trash, sign my petition and help me get to 100 signatures. It would mean a lot to me and the other people who hate Kahn Academy.
