Thank you for sharing this. The kind words about our people and culture mean a lot, and they reflect the team we've worked hard to build. We hear your feedback around changing priorities. Our approach is always closely guided by what we hear from our users, along with data on what’s driving the most impact. In some cases, that means exploring new solutions; in others, it means doubling down on improving what already exists. What we'd say is that we're deeply committed to the students, teachers, and parents we serve every day - and that means listening to them closely, operating nimbly, and also not continuing to chase underperforming initiatives if it’s clear they’re not meeting the needs of our users. That said, we know that context doesn't always make it down to every team member, and communication is something we're always working to strengthen. We appreciate the candor.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, and also for your constructive feedback. We hear you on updates to legacy code, and tackling this challenge is a priority in 2026 alongside several other exciting projects which we believe will materially improve our offering for teachers and students.
