What does outschool offer that khanacademy doesn't have?
- up_and_up 7y agoLots of random extracurriculars like: "Travel to Paris" "Viking Art and History" "Waldorf Form drawing" "The History of Halloween" They also get to see the instructor and interact with them and other kids.
- jonny_eh 7y ago> "Travel to Paris" Dumb question: Is that a field trip or just a "learn about Paris" lesson?
- droithomme 7y agoHe's not the guy behind the startup in the OP, he's just a guy doing homeschooling sharing his own personal experience. He's saying that at one point they went to Paris, which is a very educational think to do. That's homeschooling. Then they also studied Viking stuff. Maybe it was even in Norway at Viking sites? That sort of thing. A reasonable response to what do you do that Khan Academy doesn't which was the question asked of him.
- jonny_eh 7y ago> He's saying that at one point they went to Paris Right, but that's not clear. He listed it as a lesson/subject. It can be read as an actual trip, or a virtual trip.
- up_and_up 7y agoIts was a virtual field trip I believe
- droithomme 7y agoWait a minute. You "believe"? You don't know if your own kids went with you to Paris or not? I call shenanigans. You're a duplicate account or otherwise working for OP's company. Sheesh. This situation with YC funded companies getting dog and pony show coverage here with a bevy of fake accounts and special algorithmic preference is never going to stop. YC's so full of crap it's amazing. Bogus.
- seregine 7y agoWe do have some virtual field trips, like this one: https://outschool.com/classes/lets-go-to-france-Lsi6B9gk#usvAj7ADU6 https://outschool.com/classes/lets-go-to-france-Lsi6B9gk#usv...
