The app is intended to facilitate a global community that allows not only language learning but also an authentic cultural exchange among its 100 million users. Pop On users learn to understand the way different cultures think, rather than simply memorizing words from a textbook. Pop On functions through a “sharing economy.” Anyone can sign up to be a paid tutor and instantly begin teaching, using training courses provided by Pop On. Tutors can add their own teaching content or adapt the existing courses to the needs of their students.</span></p>

<br/>A failure to communicate effectively with immigrant parents is a violation of their civil rights, considered discrimination based on national origin, which is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Without language services, non-English-speaking parents are considered to be blocked from equal access to school information and resources.</td>
