Ahh.. Khan Academy.. the usefulness this site provided throughout my middle and high school education. Quite frankly, it literally saved my ass. I've gone ahead and donated $1K.
- cerberusss 7y agoWow, that's very, very generous of you!
- inimino 7y agoKudos!
- malux85 7y agoCouldn't do 1k but I can do 200 right now, anything for these guys, they are doing amazing work, everyone give what you can!
- dangoor 7y agoThanks! That's a generous donation
- maps7 7y agoYou just gave Salman Khan gas money for the next few months.
- xnyan 7y agoJust so you know, I donated some money because they did it fist. Humans work like that, it’s how we think. So now they are responsible for $1000 plus a bit more of server time.
- maps7 7y agoAre you implying I'm not human in some twisted way? Either way enough people disagree with me so my comment is dead and likely any more conversation from me will be down voted so I won't continue this. Stay safe.
- garraeth 7y agoJust donated. This is one of the good sites on the web. Please lets keep this one going.
- dangoor 7y agoThank you!
- dangoor 7y agoThank you so much!
- 0_gravitas 7y ago> the usefulness this site provided throughout my middle and high school education I'm a deal past these periods in my life, and I did quite well via just arbitrary memorization, at the cost of never really developing an intuitive understanding, and therefore a true appreciation, for subjects like math. I've only recently started going through KA's courses, starting all the way back in Algebra.
- make3 6y agoas someone who only does intuitive learning and who is garbage at memorization, the idea that people like this exist is so foreign to me
- 0_gravitas 6y agoIt was not done gladly or well, my memorization was of a term only long enough to get me through the tests for that unit. I did not hit perfect scores most of the time but I was a solid A- student (unless the class cared about homework, then I would drop to B/C, but thats besides the point). As a result of this at-the-time convenient ability I gleaned nothing from my schooling career besides how to hack tests, which is a dreadful and personally useless ability to have.
- notduncansmith 7y agoThanks for setting a positive example. I’ve set up a monthly donation, so I’ll match yours today over the next 4+ years :)
