Right? It seems like he's railing against the Kahn Academy but it's not as though a public school (or most private school) educations are much better. With a student/teacher ratio of 30:1 (or worse) and absolutely no tailoring of teaching method to student's optimal learning methods (verbal, visual, writing, etc) it's not as though traditional schooling is a paragon of getting everything 100% right and MOOCs are terrible by comparison. Kahn should get a lot of credit for giving students the option to go back and re-watch things they didn't get the first time. If they learn by hearing or seeing (instead of reading) then that's an incredibly valuable tool. If we want to complain about anything I think we should be complaining that there's no standardized testing of learning methods and then informing the students of their results (and what those results mean) so that they have the opportunity to try and optimize their learning and thus hopefully get a damn diploma. Why isn't that a national goal? Seems like it would be a small incremental change that would make a huge difference in terms of raising education levels across the board. It helps smart people and dumb people and everyone in between.
