After Words: "The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined"

[@librariantea]

I have to agree with one of the comments that part of the Khan success is Sal's style and enthusiasm. I am EXTREMELY grateful to him for helping my kids. Mostly, it has helped me help my kids. When they ask me a homework question I haven't heard in 30 years, I go straight to Khan, and suddenly I'm an expert. It's been wonderful.

[@drahgore]

Nobel prize, Sal, you are the man of the century. Thank you for being who you are and for what you are doing :)

[@SaraphL]

Sal is true definition of genius for me. I don't see a genius in someone who understands things in split-second. It's about how you use that brainpower to create something big, something huge, something that influences and changes whole world. Thank you, Khan.

[@Fabri92Rssista]

I don't know why, but his voice is perfect for teaching. Relaxing, but also attracting and joyous. Thumbs up for Sal The Great!

[@dmcarefuldriver]

Sal, you are a hero, a genius, an inspiration, a role model. You will save the world with necessary fundamental education reform.

[@JonathanDOrleans]

Creativity (46min) was a great speak! The environment shape us and we create the environment. Thx Khan for the oportunity to teach and learn anything anywhere!

[@vevin1986]

He will be the one who will be responsible for the future inventions!!.. He deserves a nobel prize more than any of the physicists ,mathematicians or doctors who generally work for their selfish interests or work because they are funded to work on those projects. . He should be honored and I hope he is never forgotten for what he has done for the children of the world. Not only children but all the citizens too!.. Anyone can learn anything for free!

[@funnybleh]

It's really good to hear Salman telling the same story now that I heard him tell a couple years ago, but now with the experience of that much more time of creating and having people use his videos and his tracking software. Thanks immensely, Salman, for pushing these ideas of yours forward!

[@WoodyStickman]

It is people like this that will reform formal education for the better and evolve it to fit our current society. Specialized learning according to a students abilities and not predetermined information each one has to memorize.

[@marsincognito]

The kind of experience Sal describes here and elsewhere would have been AMAZING for my needs as a kid.

[@woodenslave]

Love it! LOVE IT! This is just what we need! Come on Sal!! You are Superman! You are what all the kids in the world are waiting for!!!!!!!

[@nathanpelayo]

this is better than actually going to school, thanks to khan, he helped me with my AP Homework back in high school.

[@JungleJargon]

Khan has the right idea of continuing to educate ourselves throughout our lives.

[@littledivergirl1105]

You are the reason why my grades are so high! You're amazing!!thank you so much!

[@rhoadess]

I was helping people on Yahoo Answers but what I found was that people were there so others would do their homework for them, it was what I consider mindless helping. So I started just giving people little hints that would help them get over some difficult areas in their math and science questions but I was ignored, unless no one did the problem for them. The brain is like a muscle, if it doesn't have to work it gets weak, and I believe Khan Academy works a person's brain.

[@MrRedwingfanfl]

What a visionary, thanks for all the lessons Sal!

[@nextblain]

this guy is among-st few people i would describe as "great", how can you not love this guy!!!!

[@vevin1986]

Yes, We should spread the name of khan academy to as many people as possible!... I think we should at least do this for the pains he took for educating our children

[@RonaldWeiland]

I agree that our leaders,or both sides of the aisle, should explain the details of their ideas in 10 to 15 minute "KHAN-TYPE" video presentations so the citizens can understand the issues and the proposed policies to resolve our complex problems...

[@RonVandeil]

Watched it all. I don't regret listening to his inspiring quotes and feel more motivated to finish my dreams :D.

[@clark_cant]

Thank you Sal, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wish you only happiness! :)

[@marsincognito]

Can I go back to high school? The more I listen to the education experience Sal describes, the more pissed I get about the terrible un-ducation I was pushed through. I was a special needs kid (Tourette's, OCD, ADD), and my entire special ed experience was focused on figuring out how to shoehorn me into the Prussian model. I'm 24 now, no college but working a decent job, and I'm just beginning to come to understand the harm that was done to me by my failed education.

[@DetectiveLazy]

I'm not as big of an idiot today as I was before I subscribed to Khan Academy. Thanks, Sal!

[@DanielGonzalez00]

I always liked 10. Sal has great ideas, I hope we can all see them through in our lifetime

[@Swansen03]

it was insinuated in the video by Sal, non-profits have a 'mission' that is not accumulation of fiat or other capital at cost of everything else. As a narrow scope base that is the big difference.

[@jake2925]

Excellent video we need more creativity in our school system for students to learn. l agree with Khan.

[@clydemckervick9386]

You look funny!! but still a good face to see in these videos :P One thing I love about Khan Academy so deeply is that i have registered for a Linear Algebra course in college for the 2nd semester, and since I registered for 4 different Math courses on the same semester, I can (with fun and amusement) study Linear Algebra to reduce the pressure and get me better grades.. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am of your work.. Thank you very very much!!

[@echelecopao]

What is the world waiting for to give this guy a Nobel prize?

[@Kram1032]

When you were asked about the price of a physical KA-school, you slightly skipped the answer to the question. Of course you said that currently, schools spend money extremely ineffectively, but you did not give a guesstimated price-tag to your own school. I really love the idea of a KA-school or maybe even a KA-school-chain and I'd love to hear more details on what you are brainstorming around that concept for now.

[@nonchalantd]

I agree. I think education should be more career oriented earlier than college, so that students can see how their educations apply to their potential careers. By the 8th grade I knew I was going into business or law, and I did both. I could have learned finance in high school and could have fit all of my high school courses by going to class in the summer.

[@Tupster]

Why did Khan go viral? Well, personally, I could listen to his voice all day and I think that has something to do with it.

[@Browns205]

Learn a lot from this voice..

[@RockMacDonald23]

I love his voice :)

[@roadmanCoA]

he has the power to proudly say "MY NAME IS KHAN!"

[@clydemckervick9386]

I've known about Khan Academy on KZbin for maybe a year or so, but back then I focused more on minutephysics and Vsauce for education, their kind of education is quite amazing, but not fundamental like Khan Academy, I still recommend them though..

[@eatcarpet]

Pay the teachers more - Finland has already done it and it's been a success.

[@ericX97]

Exactly what I'm doing right now. Awesome!

[@JungleJargon]

I am all for making school more productive. Twelve or thirteen years is a lot of time to spend only to transition to an entirely unrelated cooperative education to learn a basic craft or trade. School only served for learning limited interpersonal relationship skills. School was almost as good as a total waste. If it wasn't for a few good Science and English teachers, I would have been totally lost.

[@fontexstudios]

Sal, did you get inspired by Sir Ken Robinson? He spoke about the same Social paradigms you showed. It's on youtube and TED talks.

[@SuperKmach]

Is this guy completely perfect? I doubt he has ever sinned once lol. No one can hate this legend!

[@XtremelyTech]

so whats the difference between a non-profit and profit-driven business then since profit-driven businesses also put the money back into expansion of the business?

[@TheShrroom]

Its good to finally put a face on the best teacher ever :)

[@vevin1986]

Thank you Sal

[@Lawh]

The thing often with teachers is that they are very pedantic in the way they see the world. It makes them lose the flow of everything, and they can rarely make real change in themselves. I was trying to teach a song on the guitar to a teacher, and she had a really hard time just going on with it, and she spent a lot of time frustrated about particular ways of strumming etc. Khan teaches in a way that's accurate, and he leaves room for imagination, and personality.

[@Prodigy1XX]

This guy is just amazing!

[@drahgore]

I'am a bricklayer / astrophysicist, thanks to Khan Academy :)

[@LucasDimoveo]

This man is a hero

[@hassan1854]

You are great .we are proud of you .We are original Bangladesh .please start English grammer courses .

[@vevin1986]

He should be given a Nobel Prize

[@coreypnorris]

"Public Charter Schools" I didin't know there was such a thing. :P

[@HotPepperLala]

Is the book free?

[@nextblain]

see his TED talk! it will give you chills! search for "sal ted talk"

[@fontexstudios]

i don't know if many people know this, but this concept is the base of socialism... if this continues, and i hope it does, the world will change.

[@dbSpiritualLife]

สุดยอดเลย...

[@JungleJargon]

Could it be that many of our teachers did not really know their material very well?

[@gcpworld]

Very Interesting!

[@EoinMeistro]

would feel more comfortable if i was looking at a black screen and sal was drawing diagrams and watnot!

[@Alansr10]

Go Sal!

[@computercube123]

In Singapore , once your in 6th grade , your supposed to do self study I am actually a 6th grader

[@ericX97]

Because it's TV, they can't ask important questions there

[@xirkoon]

I second that... great man

[@revmotor]

Nina is gushing over Salman. Jokes aside, it's a great interview.

[@XtremelyTech]

What I'm really wondering is, since Khan Academy is a non profit, where do you make the money you live on

[@NeutronicBusch]

His kids should be having no doubt with school

[@izpFhKOcFnB]

Yeah!! Nobel prize for this Nobel man...!!

[@fontexstudios]

16:20 You're 100% right!

[@ism94786]

LOL didn't expect that accent!

[@f4nte]

Sal for the winnn

[@5238330]

so so true man

[@dragooner4]

inflection point yeahhh

[@PKWysocki]

whose or who's? his or he has?

[@all18greens]

My hero

[@sergejkern5957]

Exactly

[@dnsuper]

I understand the argument, but he always says "one lecture fits all." I just think it's funny.

[@Kittypuppielover]

I'm mentoring math to a stumped kid thanks to khanacademy.

[@NotGoinDown]

Yeah right!

[@Trisador9]

why is she asking mostly business questions?

[@Jilani]

even Obama suggested khan academy once,,....

[@Swansen03]

haha, yeah, someone who 'found their calling' aye? :)

[@nonchalantd]

baha "tiger cousin"

[@dnsuper]

His criticism of one lecture fits all is hilarious. Maybe he should teach a course in irony.

[@eatcarpet]

Maybe he should now get a degree on... pedagogy and psychology.

[@007MrYang]

7th!

[@Hiruvalye]

6th!

[@SamMcinturff]

8rd

[@mikeesteele]

no you weren't
