I noticed that there are no longer compass and straightedge construction exercises anymore, and was wondering if we can expect these to be brought back. I would love to be able to use Khan Academy more in my Geometry classes, but so much has been removed that I found very valuable in the past (logic, compass constructions, etc). Please bring these back!
Thanks!

Hi Sarah, I believe the answer to that is "only when the programmers find a solution that works well across different sorts of equipment". While the compass exercises worked for some, they were a cause of frustration for many users, well described in messages like this one.
Obviously exercises that don't work for a large number of users or require good dexterity is problematic from a pedagogic point of view, even if there are other students (and teachers) who appreciate these exercises.
On the other hand, if this turns out to be a feature that lots of teachers and students are missing, that would be a good starting point for having resources allocated to developing a better functionality! I'm voting up your feature request.
