and one of the most common workarounds for that regulation for a child logging in from the child's home with the parents' permission is simply for the child to self-report an incorrect birthdate. (It's usually a good idea not to have your real actual birthday on too many websites anyway, especially if you are a minor, as one's date of birth is one key element for identity theft.) It's too bad that a federal regulation designed to protect children often turns children into liars to get access to wholesome websites that are good for children, but that's what happens when a regulation isn't carefully thought out. One of the few websites with a lot of under-thirteen-year-old users that actually makes it reasonably easy for parents to follow the COPPA regulation is the Art of Problem-Solving (AoPS) website
(which actually offers even better math-learning opportunities than the Khan Academy website, many of which are free and a few of which cost money). I have three children signed up on AoPS; one is under thirteen and one other started at age eleven but is now an adult.
