Stride, Inc.

We're so sorry to hear this. That’s incredibly frustrating, especially after your child was already approved and excited to start. That’s certainly not the experience we want for any family. Please send us a DM with your child’s name, state, and the best contact number, and we’ll help escalate this to the appropriate team right away so someone can follow up directly. Thank you.

@JamesJRhyu @StrideLearn has been a nightmare.Since Dec I’ve been jerked around. My kid was apprvd, given start date,ID&acct confirmed. On her 1st day she was withdrawn-no warning,no explanation.Now my excited 7yo has nowhere2go and I can’t get any1 to call me back

We sincerely appreciate the added info! You’re right that the World Geodetic System started in 1960 and that Irene Fischer made important early contributions to geodesy. The post here is not claiming that Gladys West invented GPS or created the original WGS. Her contribution, as recognized by sources like the U.S. Air Force, is that her satellite geodesy and Earth‑shape modeling work was later incorporated into the accuracy framework that GPS relies on. So yes, many people contributed over the decades, including Fischer. West’s work simply represents one of the key pieces that helped modern GPS become as precise as it is today.

@StrideLearn She updated the World Geodetic System as the data improved with advances in the satelite technology, but the World Geodetic System goes back to 1960. Irene Fischer deserves more credit for GPS and the World Geodetic System than does Gladys West: youtube.com/watch?v=L4ZZAp…

Hi there! This is an older post, but Gladys West is definitely still an incredible figure worth celebrating. Just to clarify, the post doesn’t say she invented GPS. The GPS tag is included because her pioneering work in satellite geodesy and her contributions to the mathematical modeling of Earth’s shape were later incorporated into the systems that GPS relies on. Her work was foundational to the accuracy of modern positioning systems, even if she wasn’t the sole creator of GPS itself. Thanks again for engaging—we always appreciate people who care about getting the details right!

Glady's West did not invent GPS, nor did she claim to. She didn't even work on GPS. She worked on the World Geodetic System, which she also didn't invent. The World Geodetic System existed for 15 years before she had anything to do with it. She didn't develop the math for it either. She was one of many people who recalculated the model from the 1972 version to the 1984 version as more accurate data became available with improvements in the technology. The World Geodetic System was first started in 1960. The first version was known as WGS60. As technology improved it was updated several times and continues to be updated. It was updated in 1966 and the second version was known as WGS66. It was updated again in 1972 and the third version was known as WGS72. Glady's West wasn't involved with the updating of the WGS until 1975. She was one of many mathematicians who helped update the model from the 1972 version to the 1984 version as the data for the model got more accurate with the improvement of satelites, electronics, measurement instruments, computers and software. But she didnt invent the systems, the math, the electonics, the computers, the software or the models. She was one of many people who helped recalculated the model with the newer more accurate data as the data became available. Which is fine, but she didn't invent GPS or the World Geodetic System.

@HughlonF Hi, and thank you for reaching out. Please reach out to an enrollment agent 866.968.7512 or you can chat live with an agent at: chat-web.k12.com/?&source=maint

@clsteele70 @Canvas_by_Inst @D2L You can follow the status of the issue at health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

@StrideLearn - Way to go, Stride. Your K12 schools were down (again!) for the day. Ever since whoever made the choice to change to .@Canvas_by_Inst from a far superior product, .@D2L, the students have lost what amounts to days of education. Not only that - but Canvas is so inferior to the capabilities .@D2L has with regard to its analytics that allowed both teachers and learning coaches to determine where students need to spend more time if they are struggling, as well as remedial opportunities. I'm sure the change was made because of cost because no one in their right mind would have made the choice based on capabilities. I suppose it was just easier to switch to an inferior product than to negotiate better with the D2L executive team. I can't begin to describe not only my disappointment, but my anger. If you had stayed with D2L that has redundancy, your students would have been learning today!😡

@clsteele70 @Canvas_by_Inst @D2L There is an AWS global outage which is affecting many platforms across the world. This is not an isolated Canvas incident.

@AngryFatJerk Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for any confusion about our email. The name of the class is Social Issues. 🙂

@StrideLearn are you guys serious right now you send an email to my kid calling them social issues students. I'm sure that's just raised their self-confidence through the roof and really help them around way to be professional wow

@AmilCarter Hello! We just sent you a message. 🙂

@StrideLearn hi again I am awaiting a response in the dm

@AmilCarter We are truly sorry to hear about this and if you could send us a message, we'd like to like into this for you to see how we can get this resolved.

@StrideLearn I have been going thru this for weeks. I kept getting told different things due to my kids not having SOL testing because of us worrying about having a place to live. And now I’m stuck not having a administrative person who makes the last say so about my kids

@StrideLearn hello I have 2 approved kids with k12 Virginia virtual and 2 that I can’t seem to do anything right to get them approved. Even though I have given all I could give to get what was asked of me. My kids and I are under McKinneyVento Act. I need help!

@MamaEarthAngry @usedgov Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Could you please send us a message with your name, your students name, and your phone number? We would like to look into this more for you and ensure your concerns are addressed. Thank you, we look forward to assisting you.

@BambambyrleyRL @esports_stride @HSELesports @JoinGenEsports Congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone! We're so grateful to have been a part of your educational journey. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter! 🎓 🥳

Now as Highschool comes to an End for me i just want say thanks @StrideLearn for awesome online program so much better then in person school and @esports_stride for an awesome 2023-24 FN season and @HSELesports @JoinGenEsports for an Awesome 2024-25 RL and FN season

@Codebender_Cate Oh no! Whenever you get a chance, we recommend reaching out to our Customer Care & Technical Support team so our agents can lend a hand and take a look into this for you. You can reach them at 866.512.2273.

Well apparently @StrideLearn handles user data in the most awful way possible. They have an old address from 6 years ago, I can't change it. They have an email address I haven't used in 7 years, I can't change it. They have my children permanently set to 3rd grade, I can't change it. I can't remove a student who is no longer in school. I can't delete or control my own information (or my children's information) at all. Tried to create a new application, it wouldn't let me change anything. Instantly denied access to an online school bc the information that is locked into the account is a disqualifier.

@Adrian807858346 Yes it is!

@StrideLearn Hello Jamie , is this an email address ?

This will allow us to send detailed information on the options specific to your area for consideration. Most schools have requirements for students to sign up. If all are met, you should be good to go.. We look forward to hearing from you!

@StrideLearn is there any way for an uncle to order this for nieces but without her information? We're trying to equip for homeschooling

@nickncs_cP Hi Nick! We have sent you a private message to obtain more information so we can better assist you. Please get back to us when you can. Thank you!

@StrideLearn we have, whenever we email we keep getting told 'The last thing they said was that there was issues with my emails being blocked by the company filter.' stop avoiding payment. my superviser needs to be paid then he pays the staff he hired. producer (me), casters.

WHERES MY PAYMENT STRIDE.

@nickncs_cP Try reaching out to your direct supervisor to see if they'll be able to assist you

@StrideLearn i do not have a homeroom teacher, i am staff from esports side of stride esports that has not been paid for the last month of running production before they shut down the esports side and went to just doing k12

@nickncs_cP I understand. Your homeroom teacher will be able to assist you better with receiving payments you are owed.

@StrideLearn we are owed payments from the esports side of stride that got shut down as shown in the retweet, multiple staff and players are still owed money. the only way we can get a hold of you now is through your k12 side that remained open.
