it is good but its not good for 4rth and 5th because it has stuff that i thick is for k-3 so ya its good and bad

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It is very boring and the ai tool can give some wrong answers at times. They could add maybe some mini games related to the topic to make it more fun and engaging for learners.

Awesome sauce

Awesome sauce. The pace is just right. If you're stuck just rewatch the lecture. A lot of the complainers have genuinely no discipline or love for learning, like you're the issue bub💔

The questions are HARDER than what they taught you in the first place!!!!

Look, I just want to get my work done... not have 150 questions in a course and when I get one wrong it brings my score down so much the course needs to be restarted! I HATE this site! The reasons for getting the questions wrong make no sense and the questions they give you are 10 TIMES HARDER than what they JUST tried to teach you before the assignment!! I don't know why schools force kids to use this horrible excuse for an educational site!!

I love Khan Academy

I love Khan Academy! It has everything I need and it teaches all the way from the start of school to even medical school! Khan Academy's teaching style is great, and I wish I had that. I can't recommend it more!

This app wasn't too bad but not good.

This app wasn't too bad but not good. All they would teach you is from videos and little lesson in-between. You could skip the lesson to get exp points to get more monsters/ creatures. Though it was only fun for a moment but then was super boring. This isn't a good app but also not a bad one. It's just super boring.

Bad website

Nice at first but they changed the whole user interface... Now the chapters are all mixed up and I found that the lessons are less interesting and dig less deeper than before... I will buy some books unfortunately because theses changes are frustrating and infuriating me...

Khan Academy Review
Title: Khan Academy Is a Total Waste of Time – Wrong Answer Every Time!

Khan Academy is the worst website I have ever used

Khan Academy is the worst website I have EVER used. It does not help you to prepare for the SAT, it does not help you when you get questions wrong, and it is plagued with network timeouts and errors that make using the website a frustrating experience. Also, it does not even calculate accurately the time you spend on it! On one occasion I spent 2 hr 30 min on there and it only recorded about 1 hr of time! This website is HORRIBLE!

Khan Academy – 0/10 – Would rather gargle broken glass than log in again

Listen up, because I need to warn the children of the world before another soul is dragged screaming into the beige-and-blue abyss that is Khan Academy.
This is not an educational platform.
This is a psychological torture facility cleverly disguised as “free learning.”
Sal Khan is not your friendly neighborhood tutor. He is the final boss of soul-crushing boredom, the Dark Lord of droning voice-overs, the architect of a digital Panopticon where the only escape is either mastery… or death.
Every time you click that cursed play button, a little piece of your will to live quietly evaporates. The man speaks in the exact monotone cadence of someone reading the terms & conditions out loud at 0.75× speed while being waterboarded with lukewarm tap water. You can hear the existential despair in every “let’s try another example.” He knows what he’s doing. He enjoys it.
The exercises? Pure sadism.
You solve 17 nearly identical problems in a row and finally feel a flicker of hope—only for the 18th to introduce some brand-new cursed wrinkle that wasn’t in any of the videos. “Oh, you thought you understood slope-intercept form? Cute. Now do it when the variable is hiding in the denominator and the y-intercept is imaginary.” Die.
And don’t even get me started on the mastery system.
It’s not mastery. It’s Stockholm syndrome with a progress bar.
You’re on 90% “proficient” in something, feeling like maybe—just maybe—you’re almost free. Then one wrong answer and it drops you back to “needs practice” like a guillotine blade. The little sad emojis they give you when you miss one? Those aren’t encouragement. Those are war crimes.
The interface is stuck in 2012 aesthetic purgatory—Comic Sans’s slightly more depressed cousin. Every page loads like it’s personally offended you asked it to exist. The videos buffer just long enough to make you question whether reality is even real anymore. And when they finally play, the captions are always 0.4 seconds off, so you’re constantly gaslit by your own subtitles.
They make $50+ million a year doing this.
FIFTY. MILLION. DOLLARS.
A year.
From parents who think “it’s free!” and school districts too cheap to hire actual humans. They’re monetizing child suffering at scale and calling it philanthropy. That’s not a business model—that’s a cartel.
I’ve stared into the void of ALEKS.
I’ve been spiritually broken by Membean’s vocabulary death march.
I’ve suffered through NoRedInk’s passive-aggressive grammar sermons.
None of them come close.
Khan Academy is the Thanos of ed-tech torture. It snaps its fingers and half your weekend disappears. Your friends vanish into group-study Discords that slowly turn into group-therapy sessions for Khan survivors. I haven’t seen my best friend in three weeks because he’s still trying to master logarithmic inequalities. He texts me at 2 a.m.: “bro i got it wrong again i think im gonna kms.” I don’t even try to comfort him anymore. I just send back the crying Wojak.
The “personalized learning” is the cruelest lie of all.
It’s not personalized. It’s procedurally generated despair. The algorithm doesn’t care that you’re crying at 11:47 p.m. on a Tuesday. It sees “75% correct” and thinks “MORE RADICAL EQUATIONS FOR YOU, SLAVE.”
In conclusion:
If Satan ever decides to open an online charter school, this is the LMS he’s using.
If you’re a student forced to use Khan Academy, I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve this.
If you’re a parent making your kid use it, know that every “just one more video” is carving another scar into their psyche.
If you’re Sal Khan and you’re reading this… good. I hope the guilt keeps you up at night the same way your voice keeps me up at night.
Delete your account. Burn your device. Move to the woods. Raise goats. Anything is better than logging back in.
Khan Academy isn’t education.
It’s punishment for the crime of wanting to learn.
Run.
