![]() ![]() ![]() Khan Academy began its journey to embrace React Native in 2017 as an experiment aimed to reduce the inherent cost of maintaining two independent code bases for two apps that were very similar in design, features, and content.īesides the duplication of engineering effort, different code bases meant more complex interaction and communication among developers when adding new features or changing existing ones. We've decided that whilst there might be personal benefits for some of the senior staff, there's no benefit for the children.After a two-year long transition from native to React Native for their iOS and Android apps, Khan Academy engineer Bryan Clark offered their view on the pros and cons of this decision. In secondary especially, MATs are often run by HTs with enormous egos IMHO My job in an academy of a similar size pays almost double what I'm on in an LA school, which obviously deprives other areas of the school budget. IMO the main benefit is for those leaders who get big payrises and a bigger empire. There's a loss of autonomy if you join a MAT, which can be good when a struggling school is supported by a more successful one, but it does make everything less personal. They can appoint unqualified teachers more easily though and you'd be surprised how any staff in academies you think are teachers aren't. We've come to the conclusion there's nothing to be gained and plenty to be lost.įinancially, funding is no different now, although academies can set their own pay scales, but in reality that often means they pay more, not less for qualified teachers. I've done a lot of research on this for the school where I work, wondering if it's best we go before we're pushed. ![]()
