Student login and password information

This teacher is absolutely right.

This teacher is so right 

Yea 

Hello all! My name is Lisa Krueger and I am a Khan Academy Ambassador teaching in Chicago. I completely understand your frustrations and I ran into the same issue last year. When KA was first introduced it was for use at home by parents and students to support math. As KA has developed it has been introduced into many classrooms and has been extremely successful. Now, the KA developers are working to make the program more teacher/coach/educator friendly. Your posts, comments, and questions are extremely useful and help drive development. So thank you for posting. 

How has this not been fixed? 

This probably alone would prevent me from integrating this resource into my classes. 

Hello Kiran! The issue of being able to access student log in information has been changed due to Khan Academy's desire to protect children under 13 right to privacy. When I create a new class I have students use their school usernames and passwords for their email accounts to create a Khan Academy account this way they will not forget and I keep a spreadsheet of the usernames and passwords. I have never run into an issue with a parent changing a students password. Hopefully this clarifies the rational behind the policy. Please let me know if you have any further questions, comments, or suggestions. Thank you for posting and Good Luck!

Lisa, 

I teach high school math and I am running into an issue with parental controls. Students set up their account in middle school and apparently their middle school teacher acted as their coach and parent. Now they are in high school and I am trying to get them to sign me up as their coach. It says they need to get their parent to accept me as a coach in their email but their real parent is not receiving emails. Since the kids are well over 13, is there any way for them to take control of their own account?

Hello Teri! This is a tricky issue - Khan Academy rolled out a solution for those accounts that did not have parents attached to them but your issue is that their old teacher was both parent and coach. I'm going to move this post over to the internal thread to the Khan Academy developers and hopefully they will have a solution. Please let me know if you have any further questions, comments, or suggestions. Thank you for posting.
