K¹² thethinktanK¹² Blog Engagement Guidelines

Engagement Guidelines

thethinktanK¹² blog is a place where you can read some of the latest news about online education, K¹² user experiences, education ideas and activities, and related parenting topics, all while engaging in respectful dialogue with the K¹² team and other community members.

The purpose of this blog is to create a conversation about interesting and relevant information related to education and online learning as well as broader topics important to parents of school-aged children. Because K¹²’s products are centered around use with children under 18, there will be certain topics we will not be able to discuss here, and any comments relating to those topics or legal/regulatory matters will not be posted either.

The information in this blog (either in posts or comments) is not intended to be professional advice or official communication from K¹². For information about K¹² and its products, view the K¹² website.
