That would be better, but that isn't really their complaint.

I hear three main complaints about a variety of sites:

1) The curriculum isn't right for their ages - it is either too cute, made for littler kids, or too much like a lecture, and would be better for older kids. KA tends to trend more towards the lecture side of that spectrum, other sites tend to be too cute. (This is kids from 8-13 giving this feedback.)

2) They dislike the UX. They don't phrase it that way, but they just don't like how they have to interact with questions, videos, etc.

3) Math on KA, specifically, only has one way to teach each topic - if you don't get it, you are out of luck. This is where a tutor would absolutely help.
