It's an etho hopper clock

I'm learning elementary school arithmetic on Khan Academy to refresh myself after a decade outside of school. While it feels slightly embarrassing, the worst part is how this feels EXACTLY like doing video game puzzles. Either game devs think this poorly of us or they know that our ultimate adult fantasy is to go back to elementary school, ace every test and impress our hot teacher.

im the flavor of neurodivergent that does khan academy second grade math for fun simply for the academic validation of it all

Its’s absolutely insane to me that there is quality educational content out there that is 100% free for the viewer on something as accessible as YouTube. Channels like SciShow, Crash Course, ASAP Science, Khan Academy, TED (and all its associated channels), etc are paving the way for the future of education. For centuries, academic knowledge was only available to the elite, people who could shell out tons and tons of money every year, and largely, it still is. But channels like this, just giving away free content is, or at least can be, the future. Just people helping other people better themselves, and that is beautiful. In a world where it seems that everything is going downhill, this makes me so incredibly happy.

the khan academy economics course and hamilton: a saga

Peak child craving academic validation is getting a burst of serotonin when you hear the little noise from when you get a problem right on Khan Academy-

DUDE I FUCKING HATE KHAN BIOLOGY, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS TAUGHT ME MORE IN A MORE MEMORABLE WAY THAN YOU EVER DREAMED OF KHAN, FUCK YOU

Khan Academy fucking paywalls you now??

why is the khan academy narrator voice kinda hot…

I'm trying to learn math but all I can focus on is that those are the colors of the pan flag

i've been doing two Coursera courses and everytime i'm on the homepage of the app, i see so many more courses i'd love to do and have to stop myself because i know i wouldn't be able to manage more before i complete my in progress ones.

So if you have even a few hours of free time every week, sign up for a course. Because a) there's just so many that it is not possible you won't find courses of your interest and b)you can access the content for free but if you want the certificate and don't want to pay, apply for financial aid, it's not difficult to get just show genuine interest in the course content.

I also got to know today that duolingo is free, so that's that.

I promise there's so much to learn and so many free resources for those who genuinely want to.

If there ever comes a day I die for someone

It would be for Khan academy

“Hey! Are you ignoring me?!”

khan academy sucks … but i can draw on it so

What hurts a little worse then not knowing something in school, is finally asking for help and your teacher LAUGHING at you cause you have to ask over ten different questions because THEY showed a fucking two minute video on how to do the math rather then getting THEIR asses out of THEIR fucking chair and teaching their fucking class. But it’s fine, cause “your a good student, you’ll figure it out”

NO BITCH

I WILL NOT FIGURE IT OUT

I WILL ACTUALLY SURF YOUTUBE FOR ANSWERS FOR OVER THREE HOURS AND END UP WITH SHIT CAUSE YOU BARELY KNOW WHAT TYPE OF EQUATIONS YOU ARE TRYING TO SOLVE

But again…

“I’m a good student”

so i’ll figure it out.
