I understand that Khan Academy isn’t a right fit for you. But to make personal comments on an individual because they aren’t a fit for you, is petty. I hope you find more people whom you believe in and write about them.

Are you telling us that platforms that don’t integrate with K-12 schools (but are a complement to them) are failures?
