  • - All right, it looks like I'm online on Facebook.

  • Hello, everyone at Facebook.

  • Sorry, running a little bit late.

  • If you ask, I'll tell you about my morning (chuckles).

  • And it looks like we're online on YouTube, all right.

  • So this is good.

  • As you can imagine, this has been an interesting

  • improvisational situation for all of us,

  • so my apologies for getting started

  • a little late this morning.

  • But this is what,

  • our fourth live stream that we're doing?

  • And, you know, the whole goal of this is

  • we have all of these resources at Khan Academy

  • that we've been building over the last 10,

  • actually, 11, 12 years.

  • And we could've never foreseen this type of a situation.

  • You know, Khan Academy, we've always imagined

  • the ideal use case being used in physical classrooms,

  • so students could learn at their own time and pace,

  • give teachers information on where students are,

  • and be able to do more focused interventions

  • for your classtime for other things.

  • And also support students who might not have had

  • traditional schooling or if you're in some part

  • of the world that doesn't have that.

  • We would've never foreseen this

  • school closure situation we're in.

  • But Khan Academy is eerily well-suited

  • to at least help us work on this.

  • Because obviously, we have things from Khan Academy Kids,

  • for early learners, for math, reading,

  • writing, social-emotional learning.

  • And then you get into the core of Khan Academy,

  • in math for sure, all the way through

  • from middle school, high school,

  • elementary school through college,

  • English language arts, SAT Practice.

  • We have the sciences, especially at the high school level,

  • AP level, and also several humanities,

  • American history, et cetera.

  • And the purpose of this live stream

  • is to give a little bit more connectedness to this.

  • Some people are starting

  • to call this kind of a homeroom for us (chuckles).

  • And like homeroom is in school,

  • it's the time to talk about anything,

  • a time, whatever announcements need to be made, et cetera,

  • and also just get a little bit of motivation,

  • a little bit of energy for the day.

  • Whether you're a teacher, you're a parent or a student,

  • this is just a reminder

  • that we're all going through this together,

  • and we're all gonna figure it out together.

  • And so I encourage anyone,

  • start asking questions on,

  • whether you're watching on Facebook or YouTube.

  • On the streams, I have team members

  • who are looking at those questions,

  • who are going to be surfacing them up

  • on my tablet right over here.

  • And so I'll know who to answer questions for.

  • You know, just a couple of updates on our side,

  • we are seeing, and I guess this isn't super-surprising,

  • but unusual traffic on Khan Academy.

  • What I heard from our team is Monday we saw 50%

  • larger than expected usage and then yesterday 80%,

  • and we're seeing kind of 10X the number

  • of teacher and student and parent registrations.

  • So that's great, that it sounds like a lot of people

  • are realizing that this is a resource that they can turn to.

  • It's free, it's accessible.

  • And hopefully, as we go through this crisis,

  • folks become more comfortable with using it.

  • And I think there's some ideas we can talk about

  • of how to complement it.

  • I do want to say thank you to Bank of America.

  • For those of you who don't know, Khan Academy,

  • we are not-for-profit.

  • That means no one owns Khan Academy.

  • We are not a company.

  • I don't own Khan Academy.

  • You own as much of Khan Academy as I do.

  • And we're funded through philanthropy.

  • And we love that we're able to serve everyone right now

  • as we have this crisis.

  • But our server costs are going through the roof.

  • We're having demand,

  • more folks to be able to do things like webinars.

  • We had a very large parent webinar

  • that had a thousand parents on it last night.

  • And so it's really valuable

  • that Bank of America stepped up.

  • You could do a Google search

  • and read about that press release.

  • But they stepped up to really support this,

  • you can almost call it a relief effort,

  • that we're trying to up our game at Khan Academy

  • to make sure everyone feels connected and supported.

  • And expect to see more from us

  • and our partners like Bank of America.

  • So thank you to Bank of America for that.

  • But let me get to,

  • let me get to some of the questions here.

  • So the first question is,

  • "How do I figure out what my child should be learning?"

  • So there's a couple of ways to answer that.

  • Obviously, as a parent,

  • you might know what grade your student's in.

  • And you might say, "Okay, my student's a fifth grader."

  • That might be an indication that fifth grade

  • on Khan Academy might be a really good place to start.

  • I will put a little asterisk there, little bit of a caveat.

  • What we found, even when working with traditional schools,

  • is the reason why a lot of kids have trouble,

  • and this is especially true in math,

  • but it's also true in things like reading and writing,

  • but especially in math, they might have trouble

  • in fifth, sixth, seventh grade math.

  • It's not because they're not bright.

  • It's not because the subject matter is difficult.

  • It's because as they went through

  • their academic foundations, they had some gaps.

  • They might have been in third grade

  • when they were learning multiplication tables.

  • They just didn't learn their seven times tables well.

  • And they got a C on a test,

  • and then they just moved on to the next thing.

  • And so when they see, have to multiply something by seven

  • in sixth grade, they just have to spend

  • a little bit too much cognitive load.

  • Or their decimals in fifth grade are a gap.

  • And so when they see a decimal in seventh grade, it's a gap.

  • So one thing we've seen teachers do to great effect,

  • there's an amazing teacher, Tim Vandenberg,

  • who I was talking to two days ago.

  • He was telling me how, with his sixth graders,

  • he starts them all on kindergarten on Khan Academy.

  • And if you know the material,

  • the students can go through each course quite quickly.

  • We have things like Course Challenges, Unit Tests,

  • Mastery Challenges that can accelerate students through it.

  • That helps them build some momentum, build some confidence,

  • get familiarity with the platform,

  • and then it ensures that they don't have any gaps.

  • So he has his students do early learning

  • and then do the arithmetic courses on Khan Academy

  • and the third grade courses.

  • He'd use those as the foundational ones and simultaneously

  • work on the grade-level course on Khan Academy.

  • If your student has, for the most part,

  • been proficient in math, then I would go straight

  • to the grade-level course on Khan Academy.

  • If, since we're already well into the year,

  • I would have your child,

  • and if you're a student, I would have you

  • take the Course Challenge,

  • and the Course Challenge will sample every unit.

  • And if you take the Course Challenge

  • and you get an 80 or 90% on it,

  • keep taking the Course Challenge

  • and try to get higher and higher scores

  • until you have mastery in the course.

  • But if you see there's some gaps

  • that you're consistently not getting right,

  • then those skills,

  • you can look at those units that they come from,

  • and then you can ensure that you get mastery in those units.

  • And so that's a way that we're,

  • you know, we're 3/4 or 80% through the year,

  • that you can quickly know what you know

  • and what you don't know and where you need

  • to actually fill in your gaps.

  • So that's my personal view of the quickest way to figure out

  • where might be the right zone for you.

  • And the same thing is true at the high school level.

  • You know, even high school students,

  • doesn't hurt starting a little bit behind.

  • You have more time now,

  • and make sure you fill in those gaps.

  • And things like our SAT Practice

  • that we do with the College Board, that adapts to you.

  • So if you start getting questions of a certain skill wrong,

  • it'll give you slightly easier ones

  • or then slightly harder ones if you get 'em right.

  • So that's my best advice there.

  • You know, some people have been asking

  • for just general tips.

  • And I was on some of the morning shows today,

  • and what I say is make sure you have some structure today.

  • As we get more days into the social distancing,

  • it's very tempting to stay in your pajamas

  • and kinda try to work from bed

  • with the TV running and all that.

  • That's not going to be good,

  • and it's not good even for your own mental health.

  • It's good to have a pattern.

  • Wake up in the morning,

  • just like you would have done for school.

  • Have your breakfast.

  • Get ready.

  • I even heard about some people pretending

  • like they're on a bus for some period.

  • I guess that's maybe a form of meditation.

  • And then break into the schedule.

  • And we, at Khan Academy,

  • we've released some schedules for school closures,

  • and it's for different schedules for different age groups

  • that have different amounts breaks

  • and things like that in them.

  • But use those.

  • You could use those just as they are,

  • or you can modify them to meet your needs.

  • But if you have that schedule,

  • then that also gives you a clearer sense,

  • as, hey, if I get all this done by one o'clock

  • in the afternoon or two o'clock, I can then relax,

  • I can then go do other things,

  • pursue my passions, work on other hobbies.

  • Ideally, you have a place in the house

  • that is nice and clean, free of clutter,

  • where you just associate that with work.

  • And that spatial association, I think,

  • will help your productivity.

  • All right, so we have Sayed Mohel Rosales asked

  • "Will Khan Academy always be free?"

  • Simple answer is yes.

  • You know our mission statement is free world-class education

  • for anyone, anywhere.

  • The whole idea about being a not-for-profit,

  • there's nothing wrong with for-profit companies.

  • Most of my career I'd worked at some form

  • of a for-profit or an other.

  • But a for-profit company at the end of the day,

  • their bottom line literally, is,

  • you know maximizing shareholder value or income,

  • or things like that.

  • Nothing wrong with that, that's how capitalism works.

  • But a not-for-profit, its bottom line is its mission,

  • and our mission is free,

  • world-class education for anyone, anywhere.

  • And the reason why we set it up

  • as a not-for-profit you know twelve

  • years ago I could have never foreseen

  • this scenario is because there's certain

  • parts of our market economy where

  • market forces alone might not work properly,

  • or if they did work properly, it might not

  • lead to the types of outcomes we want.

  • And you know, I frankly, I think education and healthcare

  • are the two areas where you,

  • you don't want someone's access to it

  • to be gated by their ability to pay,

  • or you know, what their parents do for a living,

  • or that you know, things like that.

  • And so that's why Khan Academy is free,

  • and will always be free.

  • And it's not, and it's not-for-profit.

  • It's primarily funded through philanthropic donations,

  • So Tada Bevell says, "Frustrating trying to help

  • "my college engineering son with his Internet issues."

  • "He also needs tutoring in calculus two,

  • "and physics, any help?"

  • So depends what the Internet issues are.

  • I don't have good advice for if there's connectivity issues.

  • Maybe the local carrier,

  • whoever might might be able to help with some of that.

  • But if he's taking calculus two and physics,

  • we can help there.

  • Khan Academy has a full,

  • depending on which college you go to,

  • first two semesters or three semesters

  • of college calculus, not just videos.

  • We have exercises, you get as much practice as you need.

  • So I really encourage your son to get on that.

  • Make sure he, same advice I have for the younger students,

  • take the course challenge.

  • Understand what he knows and doesn't know,

  • then he can focus on the units that he he has some gaps in,

  • and then if he's able to get to, say 90% mastery

  • on our, on our college calculus, or our Calculus BC,

  • which is AP, but still a first-year college course,

  • I think he'll do great.

  • We have the same thing in first year physics.

  • He could use our AP physics,

  • which is really college physics, that I,

  • hopefully will, will help him.

  • So let's see Alisharova Kilola asks,

  • "How do I motivate my little brother to study

  • "during the quarantine?"

  • "He really doesn't want to do anything."

  • And Alisharova, I empathize with you.

  • I know I have three kids at home.

  • And the older two, I have to give them a lot of credit.

  • 11 and and eight years old, they are really productive.

  • I think even more productive than me.

  • Their school's doing a, you know they're getting

  • a list of stuff to do every day.

  • They're, they're connecting on Hangouts with their teachers

  • at appropriate times.

  • So they're fine, but my five-year-old,

  • I've been having a lot of difficulty motivating him.

  • I think he's just getting used to the circumstances

  • that we're all finding ourselves in.

  • We had a good tip from a homeschooling parent

  • a couple of days ago on this livestream,

  • where she said you just have to stick with it.

  • At first it's hard,

  • everyone's getting used to the same patterns,

  • but it's just about sticking with it,

  • maintaining a pattern.

  • Having consistency, you know, for very young kids.

  • I hope none of y'all are, well I hope you are listening,

  • but my technique with my five-year-old sometimes the direct

  • course of action is not the ones work on this.

  • He will resist but if you say,

  • "Hey, that was really amazing how many points

  • "you got yesterday!"

  • Then you know, kind of strokes his ego a little bit,

  • he gets a little excited about that.

  • Or if you say, "Hey tell me about that song

  • "you really like."

  • And then while, while he tells you about the song,

  • I'd kind of open up the work he needs to do,

  • handwriting or whatever else.

  • So, that's one possibility.

  • But I think, you know, this is one of those times,

  • don't beat up yourself.

  • It's really impressive, as a sibling,

  • you're trying to help your sibling.

  • But you know, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

  • Do what you can, keep some consistency.

  • And what the homeschooling parents are telling us

  • is that, "Oh it's still the first week

  • "for most of us, and so you know it's okay."

  • "We can we can give all of ourselves a break,

  • "and you know."

  • And this is the other thing

  • we're gonna probably form some habits

  • over the next month or two as the

  • schools are closed and it sounds like, it

  • in many places they will be closed

  • to the end of the school year.

  • We're hearing that in California.

  • But know we have the whole summer to continue learning,

  • to, you know, catch up if we need to fill in gaps.

  • And then continue learning.

  • So as long as people are able to ramp into the summer

  • and keep learning during the summer,

  • I'm not worried that they're going to be able

  • to do just fine when schools reopen.

  • All right, so someone says "How will Khan Academy

  • "get me into places like Stanford University?"

  • "I understand", oh "I understand.

  • "a guy who was locked up for 15 years

  • "used your resources and got into Stanford."

  • Okay, so Adam, Adam Bukhari asked that question.

  • So I'll first give my disclaimer, where you go to college,

  • just does not define you as a human being.

  • I think too many times in our society,

  • and a lot of the signals you get in high school,

  • and, and when you're young,

  • from your friends are like, you're defined.

  • But you know you try it you're trying to

  • find your identity and you might be

  • defined by your test scores, or where you go to college,

  • et cetera, et cetera, and you,

  • your life is far more than that.

  • Than these test scores, or where you go to college.

  • Now, for those of you who are, you know, you,

  • there's nothing wrong with wanting to go

  • to a highly selective University.

  • I would just say just don't be attached to it,

  • as Buddha says the course of all the the

  • source of all suffering is it you should

  • always try your best and it's great to

  • be able to find a college that will challenge you,

  • that will put you around other people

  • that will make you make you better.

  • My best advice, and I tell this,

  • you know we have a Lab School downstairs,

  • and I tell this to the students about your age

  • is make sure you really master material.

  • Don't try to, you know, be, do everything.

  • Master the core for sure.

  • You know the the mathematics, the sciences,

  • the writing, the humanities.

  • But make sure you have time and space for your passions.

  • You know, you see a lot of students

  • who, they think they have to do everything

  • in order to impress other people.

  • And in some ways the other people will say,

  • "That person is just trying to do everything to impress me."

  • "Who are they really?"

  • And we, I've talked to a lot of admissions officers.

  • We have some on our advisory board here at Khan Academy,

  • and they all tell us we just want to see authenticity.

  • For sure, they need to see kids

  • who they feel confident, will be able to handle

  • the academic rigor of their campus.

  • But they just want to see authenticity.

  • They want to see curiosity.

  • They want to see creativity.

  • And so I think, find your passions.

  • You have, you know glass half-full,

  • the school closures, you might have a little more time now.

  • This is a great time to explore your passions,

  • find solutions for people in your neighborhood.

  • There's all sorts of people who need help right now.

  • Do it authentically, don't do it just to get into college.

  • Say, "Hey, there might be senior citizens

  • "who can't go to the grocery store."

  • "Maybe I can drop off the groceries

  • "out there at their porch."

  • "Maybe I can turn into a thing me and my friends

  • "can volunteer to do that"

  • If you do it authentically, then when it's time

  • to apply to college, and if you're academically prepared,

  • you've given it your best shot.

  • And so that's that's my best advice.

  • You know the example you gave, of Jason who was,

  • for those of you who don't know the story,

  • this was a young man, when he was in his teens,

  • he got arrested for selling marijuana.

  • He got thirty years in prison in Illinois.

  • While in prison, his mother gave him transcripts

  • of Khan Academy videos

  • so he could start to learn.

  • They had no access to the Internet.

  • He had his sentence shortened to 15 years.

  • So he gets out in his early 30s,

  • and then he gets on Khan Academy for real

  • at the local library, uses our official SAT practice,

  • and he's able to kind of catch up,

  • and he initially said his local music college.

  • But he decides that he wants to apply to Stanford.

  • And he was able to transfer, and I met him.

  • And that's how I even know the story.

  • So there's some, I don't say that is the way

  • that you know, you should go to Stanford.

  • But I'm saying that as a way

  • that I think anyone, if you apply yourself,

  • you put your best foot forward,

  • and you're authentic about it.

  • You know I would say what's really powerful

  • about Jason's story is how authentic he is,

  • and how much he owns his own history.

  • And I think that's really powerful, and people would

  • be impressed by that.

  • Let's see Abed Sheik says, "Do you have any science classes

  • "for middle school on Khan Academy?"

  • So obviously that is actually

  • a gap that we have, officially.

  • We don't have middle school science, per se.

  • With that said, what I will tell you

  • is I think the high school biology is completely doable

  • by a middle school student.

  • The math prerequisites you would have already seen

  • in middle school, things like negative numbers,

  • and decimals, and exponents, and things like that.

  • And so, and especially because high school biology,

  • super interesting right now,

  • because you'll learn about viruses, and DNA and RNA.

  • And you know that's very relevant to the world we're at,

  • so I would recommend high school students

  • to work on the high school,

  • sorry, middle school students to work on the high school

  • biology on Khan Academy.

  • I think that could keep you busy,

  • and you'll learn a lot and that's just

  • a useful, useful skill for life.

  • All right, so, so Lethal Hipster, interesting name,

  • says, "Hi, Khan, how long have you been teaching?"

  • Well, depends how you define teaching.

  • You know I, I've taught in various

  • formal and informal settings over over many years.

  • If I were to go really far back, the first time

  • that I realized that I enjoyed tutoring

  • or teaching was in high school.

  • It might not surprise people,

  • but I was the president of the math club.

  • I assure you, it was cooler than you might imagine,

  • and as part of that we had,

  • we used to tutor a lot of our,

  • we had free tutoring for everyone at our school.

  • And I saw over and over again that students,

  • my friends who thought they weren't good at math,

  • if they just had a little bit of attention,

  • a little bit of being able to fill in their gaps,

  • then all of a sudden were like,

  • "Wait, this isn't so bad."

  • And, and then they were, they were off to the races.

  • And so that's what first stuck in my head of

  • the reason why people are held back

  • isn't because of their ability,

  • it's because of these gaps.

  • And they just need a little bit of

  • personalization, so to speak, to fill in those gaps.

  • Then in college I, I did some, actually I taught at the,

  • there's a local school district in Brookline, Massachusetts

  • and they had lost funding for some of their classes.

  • And so they were looking for volunteer teachers.

  • So when I was in college it was actually myself,

  • and my roommate, who's named Shantanu Sinha,

  • and he was actually the first president of Khan Academy.

  • We used to go volunteer teach at Brookline Devotion School.

  • This was in Brookline, Massachusetts

  • in middle school students.

  • And then later in college I actually was doing

  • some test flight, test prep stuff for for folks

  • like Princeton Review.

  • And then my career took a completely different,

  • I went into tech, et cetera, et cetera.

  • But I was always fascinated by this whole teaching side.

  • And so when my cousins, in 2004, needed help,

  • I was like, "Hey can I tutor you?"

  • "'Cause I just love, it's just fun to be able

  • "to connect with people."

  • "I love the subject matter."

  • And then that's kind of how I got started

  • on this this Khan Academy adventure.

  • That was about 16 years ago.

  • Yesterday someone commented about how old I look,

  • and so that's why.

  • (laughs)

  • Someone is asking, Andy says

  • "Hey Sal, it's 8:17 AM here,

  • "and I'm about to live with

  • "schedules that you planned."

  • "Thank you so much!"

  • Andy, great news!

  • And yeah, my apologies.

  • I know these livestreams conflict

  • with the same schedules that we publish,

  • and it's hard.

  • 'Cause those schedules are whatever time zone you're on,

  • and obviously this live stream is happening

  • at different times, depending on what time zone you are in.

  • But I'm glad you're using the schedules.

  • And we are going to look for more ways to support

  • those schedules and we can get you support.

  • See, it says "How can I learn personal finance

  • at Khan Academy?"

  • You could literally look at our menus.

  • There's a course menu when you go to the top left.

  • And Finance and Personal Finance

  • are sections on Khan Academy.

  • Those don't have the exercises

  • the way that math and other subjects do.

  • But there's a lot of videos there,

  • and I think if you look at those videos,

  • and especially if if I'm working through a problem,

  • you pause and you try to do it on your own.

  • You'll be surprised how much personal finance

  • you might learn.

  • And I'm happy to answer actually

  • any personal finance questions if anyone has any.

  • And I know this is a time that might be

  • stressing folks' finances, so I'm or maybe

  • they're having questions about the stock market,

  • and my, you know my old life I used to be

  • an investment analyst.

  • So I don't mind answering questions about that.

  • Okay so Christine Priti,

  • "Will you be adding more courses, et cetera

  • "if schools stay closed for a longer time?"

  • A great question Christine.

  • You know we, we're looking to do anything and everything

  • necessary to be able to support folks

  • through this school closure situation.

  • It looks like they

  • will be closed and you know in many

  • places through the end of the year.

  • We're talking, you know everything we do is

  • philanthropically funded, so you know we talked earlier

  • about the the gap we have in middle school science.

  • I would love nothing more than to be able to create

  • some middle school science content on Khan Academy.

  • We need to find philanthropists.

  • Small and large philanthropists, every donation counts.

  • So that we can start hiring up a team of folks

  • who can start helping build that content.

  • You know a lot of time I get

  • disproportionate credit for Khan Academy

  • 'cause I make a lot of the videos.

  • And you know I'm kind of the mascot,

  • for better or for worse.

  • I'm not so pleasant of a mascot.

  • but there's a lot of people behind the scenes.

  • We have over 200 employees who have salaries

  • that we need to be able to

  • pay so that they can do their work.

  • Most of these people have taken salary cuts

  • from what they could be doing in the for-profit sector

  • because they're so passionate about this mission.

  • And on the content side I have a ton of support

  • from people, oftentimes with PhDs in the subject,

  • who are curating what the, what the sequence should be,

  • how we cover the standards,

  • writing these thousands of items

  • that we have to write per course,

  • getting it vetted with outside third parties.

  • So there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes

  • for those courses, but I hope that we can add

  • more and more courses, especially if it looks like this,

  • this crisis continues for, you know

  • beyond what we're thinking right now.

  • So let's see, high school seniors are stressed

  • about school closures, no prom, no graduation ceremony,

  • what advice do you have for them?

  • So I'm, I'm, I don't know how all of this

  • is going to play out,

  • and you know there's some part of it

  • that's not so great.

  • That you're, you, you might miss out on some of these,

  • whatever you want to call them,

  • rites of, rites of passage.

  • What I would say to you is you

  • and your generation, especially those of you

  • who are high school juniors and seniors right now,

  • this is going to define your generation.

  • You know when you're my age, y'all are gonna sit around

  • the table and reminisce about 2020.

  • "Remember that, remember coronavirus?"

  • "Remember what was special about our generation?"

  • And I think that actually will, in many ways,

  • form deeper bonds than you know,

  • all of the other things that you might have done

  • in the past.

  • And I think there's ways

  • that you can still have those experiences.

  • Let's say you graduate.

  • Let's say we're still in this, in this quarantine,

  • or stay at home policy and so you're not able

  • to get those formal ceremonies.

  • Maybe they can happen in the fall, once ought we

  • surface from this.

  • Or at a later date, and that,

  • that could be fun too.

  • You know, I'm supposed to be involved with a few graduations

  • earlier this summer, and yeah I'm assuming

  • they might not happen.

  • But the, I hope they eventually happen

  • so that those students can get their proper congratulations

  • for what they've done, so, so it'll all be,

  • it'll all be good at the end.

  • So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

  • Take care of yourself more than anything,

  • and I think it'll all, it'll all work out.

  • So let's see other questions here.

  • Lisa Moore says, "So homeschooling parent here."

  • "Can confirm it, it does get better."

  • "The routine becomes normal."

  • "Important to keep a routine of sorts, and you're right."

  • "Ditch the PJ 24/7 habit, it's harder to break later on."

  • Okay, so reinforcement, change out of your pajamas,

  • patience, and perception.

  • Know yourself, know your kid.

  • Great advice, Lisa thank you for that.

  • You know I just got news from, I just got news from,

  • from our team here that, you know our partners,

  • Bank of America, you know we had that earlier question

  • about financial literacy?

  • They were the ones that have funded

  • that financial literacy work and career work

  • we have on Khan Academy over the last seven years.

  • And especially for many of y'all who are teenagers,

  • or in your early 20s we have a ton of content,

  • not just on financial literacy,

  • but different career paths and how to navigate them,

  • and and the pros and cons and, and the financial stresses,

  • or benefits of different careers.

  • And so the bank has been instrumental in funding all of that

  • over the last seven years,

  • And as I mentioned, they have been the first company

  • to step up, over, literally over the weekend

  • when they realized that we needed support

  • as a non-profit.

  • They step up and it looks like

  • they just announced a hundred million dollars

  • of support to non-profits worldwide.

  • So that's a huge deal, you know.

  • I know the folks at the bank for a while.

  • Folks like and Anne Finucane, and Meredith, and Michelle,

  • and you know I've just been inspired by their willingness

  • to step up and help the world, as just as human beings

  • and I think that is just representative of the whole,

  • of the whole bank.

  • Let's see, any other questions?

  • So there's more questions coming in,

  • we're close to time.

  • Maybe I could do one more question, but, well,

  • you know I'll just finish up with a standard message.

  • This is a time that is challenging for all of us.

  • But you know the point of this livestream

  • is to remind all of us that we're in this together.

  • As I've said in previous live streams,

  • this is actually something that I really enjoy connecting

  • with all of y'all because I've been

  • penned up in my house for this week.

  • And so I think it's, as all of us are navigating this,

  • as long as we stay connected, as long as we keep learning,

  • and as long as we recognize that this is

  • all gonna, this is all gonna sort itself out.

  • Over time, it's going to be a blip in our life.

  • It's going to be, make for great stories

  • to tell our children and our grandchildren

  • how we all stepped up,

  • and dealt with this, and supported each other

  • in this together.

  • I'll also just give a public health announcement.

  • I really do encourage people to take

  • the social distance seriously.

  • I posted a video over the weekend,

  • and I think you do a search for like

  • Khan Academy and COVID, or something like that

  • it'll tell you how,

  • you know, these things grow,

  • and the reported cases are probably,

  • are for sure understating the actual cases out there.

  • Because not everyone's tested.

  • Not everyone has had symptoms.

  • And so you might be carrying it,

  • and you might be lucky and not have so much symptoms,

  • especially if you're young.

  • But if you want to protect your parents

  • and your grandparents,

  • do your best to keep a social distance.

  • That's the best way that this looks.

  • The sooner that everyone does that,

  • the quicker that we will get through this,

  • and that the lower chance we have

  • of overwhelming our healthcare system.

  • So thank you everyone, it's, it's a real treat

  • to be able to do this with you.

  • Thanks for joining in.

  • And, you know, get on Khan Academy and learn,

  • and use the schedules, and tell everyone about it as well.

  • I think there's still a lot of parents and students,

  • who are feeling a little lost and and so the

  • more that

- All right, it looks like I'm online on Facebook.
