Was a busy week at ZipSchool! It’s interesting, we’re quickly moving more toward an experience that the student themselves can control. This sounds kinda obvious in retrospect (as most things do). For basically the last 6 months the experience we’ve been building has been pretty parent focused. The parent signs up. The parent picks the lessons. The parent sets the lesson up on their laptop. And finally, the parent plops the kid down in front of the screen to start experiencing Zip. After the lesson, the parent is back in the mix and either exits out of Zip or helps the student pick the next lesson (since, well, our UI isn’t exactly kid friendly and most kids can’t reliably use a browser until around age 8). The kid pretty much does nothing other than experience the lesson. The parent does

I come from a Pakistani family. Unless your new initiative is a big success, you're a big flop. As a society, no matter where you're from -- we have a tendency to look at those that did something really hard, but didn't figure it out as a person who "failed".
