I hope that schoolhouse.world can expand to younger ages soon so younger children can learn from this website.

Exactly! Nobody should be denied a free and awesome chance to learn because of their age! I am actually ready to give my career for this ;D

We would need a stronger certification process for the JR division of Schoolhouse (for safety and privacy concerns)

Would be cool to see like a transfer system so that JR tutors/learners could transfer their account to the "normal" schoolhouse

Yeah I also highly agree with Avner L, it will be so good to let younger ages below 13 can also use schoolhouse.world. My brother is almost 13 so he was very excited. He decided to immediately become a tutor right in the start of his birthday and I do have some other friends who really want to use schoolhouse.world but they are under 13. So I really hope if this is possible.

(To product team): Can this post be merged with the other post on Schoolhouse Jr? This one: https://schoolhouse.world/feedback/p/expand-more-grades-or-make-a-schoolhouse-kids-website

Yes, we really want to expand to younger ages! There are a bunch of privacy and safety implications of doing so, so this can't happen overnight, but we aspire to get there.

Akshay Ravikumar: How about merging this post into the more recent https://schoolhouse.world/feedback/p/expand-more-grades-or-make-a-schoolhouse-kids-website?
Same core idea, so having all ideas under the same discussion post makes revisiting feedback a lot easier, doesn't it? I like the idea in this post and the one I linked, but the Schoolhouse Jr/Kids name in the linked post is really compelling! And I think it's helpful to gather all future ideas under one of these two posts on expanding to younger learners.

Yeah, I feel like middle school children would really need good math lessons. On top of that, we do have a lot of tutors for pre-algebra and algebra 1. It does make sense that according to country policies we can't host sessions for learners under 13 but it'll be nice if we can think of a way to tackle this issue.
