Duolingo creator:
"I went to school in Guatemala. I went to the school where basically all of the kids of the rich people go. Or like the kids of ambassadors and everything.
"Even though I was not rich, I received the education of a rich person, and that made me see things differently.
"This really changed my view in terms of what education is. A lot of people, when they talk about education, they're like, 'Oh, it's the thing that can bring social classes together.' I always saw it as the opposite. I mean, generally, wealthy people can get themselves a much better education."
