Has Khan Academy thought of starting a Mediation Course (intervention in a dispute by a neutral third party, in order to resolve it).

I think there is to much litigation in today's society, and what with police in the news, maybe its time to start learning mediation and deescalation, and I think Khan Academy with its mission of free non partisan education would be an ideal place to learn these things, especially Mediation.

It would need to be done in study groups, so participants could practice with each other.

Maybe a few prerequisites could be having to learn World History and Civics or similar subjects so students could better able put themselves in "another shoes."

Also it would be good for non lawyers to learn, as lawyers charge alot for the service, and in countries that do have this tradition, its mostly everyday people that do the mediation, not lawyers.

Hi Thiago,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea with us!

As we grow and expand, we continue to add new content to offer a better education on Khan Academy. However, adding a course on Mediation is not a part of our roadmap at this time.

While we wish we could implement all of our users' requests, we need to make difficult decisions about which features and requests are aligned with our goals at the time. As our needs and resources change, it’s possible that we may be able to revisit this issue at a later date, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to do so, or provide a timeline for when that might happen.

I know that this probably isn’t the response you were looking for, but I hope you understand where we’re coming from.

We really appreciate your enthusiasm for Khan Academy, as well as your sharing your feedback with us.

Thanks again,

Alex
