While I grant that it can be useful to know the U.S. currency and especially the U.S. Customary System, I think these are not strictly mathematical (and thus universal) subjects and to make Khan Academy more accessible to English speakers not residing in the U.S. I would suggest that these parts be made optional, by either adding an option in the settings or by (re)moving them.
Hi there!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our way to present our English language content and the usage of United States references. This is actually valuable feedback and we appreciate your observations. I've passed this feedback along to the appropriate team. As we grow and expand, we’re continuing to improve our content to offer a better education at Khan Academy. Investing more heavily in the content team is actually one of our major initiatives.
Thank you for being part of our community!
