What Khanmigo replacesYou can probably stop using:
- a tutor for the parts a parent forgot in 1998
- the 'I don't understand this homework' kitchen conversation
What Khanmigo can’t do
It can tutor. It can't see when a student has given up.
Khanmigo will patiently walk a learner through any topic. What it can't do is notice the quiet kid who stopped trying two weeks ago, and ask them what's going on at home. That's still a teacher's job.
