- we’re the WhatsApp of education: a messaging app for teachers, students, and parents. No phone numbers are ever exchanged, no conversations are ever deleted. And because everyone has a phone (we do SMS too), students and parents get more involved. One teacher said his homework completion rates jumped from 75% to about 99%. That makes us super happy.
