There has been one narrative among many about minority education that has persisted the generations. There aren’t the resources available to give young poor black, brown and red kids a fighting chance at the American Dream. Until the internet. If you are the parent of a kid who has the latest mobile phone, is struggling in school, and you spend more than 30 minutes a day on Instagram, The KhanAcademy.org, is just for you.
Khan Academy is designed for not only teenagers but K-12. There is everything a child needs. Science, Math, Grammar, Reading, real help. As kids who know they come from less economically start to mature, they tend to not see school as a place of welcome. Not because they are dumb. It isn’t because they aren’t capable. It’s a lack of confidence. The confidence that if they put in the effort they can achieve success. Adults fight this same lack of confidence in starting a new business, going back to school, asking that person out on a date. So imagine the child of poverty with the same hesitation about taking a test, reading aloud or being called upon in class because they aren’t prepared.
This is where the Khan Academy can save you. As the parent knowing you’ve given your child every advantage in education it’s one less weight you have to bare. Kids who fall behind in reading and math by the fourth grade usually struggle as high-schoolers. Give not only your child a chance at a world class education for FREE, but yourself the solace of knowing you gave them every opportunity they deserve.
