Would you be interested in creating “Teacher accounts”, where teachers can get reports with useful data about their students learning activity and progress? Presuming that students voluntarily appoint someone with such a teacher account as actually their teacher with whom they want to share their progress data. Such a functionality is lacking now.

Teacher accounts could be paid by schools. This would provide Duolingo with new funding without violating the promise that learning languages on Duolingo is free and will remain free forever.

That is very very good! Do you have any thoughts on a supporting business model?

At Facebook, Yahoo or G+ users can choose which information they share with their followers. In Duolingo I cannot. For some reason my activity stream does no longer show the icons of the new skills I have learned. Others have noticed this problem in the forum already, but never found an answer. See for instance: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/3989083 or https://www.duolingo.com/comment/4198716 Do you know if this is a known issue? Thanks for helping us to understand what happens behind the screen!
