Shmoop ACE Plan Changes?

[rachel83az]

I like choices but I fail to see what Shmoop offers that Sophia and SDC do not. I also find the name they choose moronic.

Their name and tone has definitely contributed to their downfall. 

Them ending their ace affiliation now makes it seems like they are going out on their own terms, when it reality as mentioned, no one takes their offerings seriously.

Come on, "I got my education from schmoop", why would you want to put your customer in a position to get clowned if they use your product?

I don't necessarily think that Shmoop is a bad name in and of itself. IMO, just going by names, Study.com sounds way more dubious. But their tone and the lack of any sort of proctoring (at least at the beginning) definitely were contributing factors. At least Sophia has some sort of authentication.
