Khan talks way too much. It's like he's in love with his voice, and he fills almost every second of the video with him talking that it doesn't give a lister a chance to absorb in silence.
Ex:"So let's write sine of theta... (siiiine oooof theeeetaaa) Ok. So now we have sine of theta. So like I said, we use the sine of theta (right here: sine of theta) for the identities.. (iiiii deeeennnti teeeees) Identities."
Just say "write sine of theta" and then write the fucking shit and get a move on.
@VideoMenu OK... the whole point of the Khan Academy thing he has going on is for you to manage how you learn from the video in your own way, not to fall in love with his voice. If you want to absorb something in silence, go to the pause button.

Teachers are notoriously underpaid. They are working with less and less money and they help raise your children. Don't ever underestimate the importance of teachers. Sal is wonderful but so are the classroom teachers.
@stoke777 no they're not, they're in a union that is so messed up. They try to make us like horrible leaders and communists like Obama. People like you haven't watched Sal's videos enough. He doesn't do any bullshit. He gets right to the point. Teachers are a disgrace and should not be paid any more than they already are.
Are you kidding me? "He gets right to the point"? You know how many times I wished he'd just get right to the point and he doesn't? I mean, one one video he takes up valuable time calling us "chemistry studs" after explaining how to do some equation.
Leave your politics out of it. To drag Obama into it makes you plain obtuse (no pun intended).
@stoke777 He never said teachers were unimportant. Besides, look at Pennsylvania or any state with a big city, Philadelphia has several schools with 900 students, problem is, only 70 of them show up a day, that's over 90% of the money being wasted on people who don't learn anything. Khan Academy has nearly 200,000 active students, and almost all of them learn something from him each day.
He's not the only one either Bucky (thenewboston) is another on the rise for the free education revolution.
I don't like khan academy because he misappropriates other people's "research and insights to himself"- as if knowledge is something that falls out of the sky, and that only some people understand it.
@Superfoiling Yeah? When does he do that? I've watch hundreds of videos produced by him and he never explicitly takes credit for anything. Does he claim to have invented calculus without giving credit to Isaac Newton? And, if only some people are supposed to "understand it" as you say, why is he making instructional videos for asshole like you to learn from? I think that pretty magnanimous of him.
The teachers unions is very important as a political entity, and without them the world will be pretty much hell, but it is true they do not develop their teaching platform dynamically, and for that reason if they don't shape up soon they will be taking a big hit.
I have been forwarding links to his site to my friends on facebook, and asking them to pass along to any students in their lives. Great thing to do. Spread the ability to learn, change the world!
While some blame can be put on certain teachers it shouldn't all be put on them. These teachers are doing there jobs fallowing the model that has been put in front of them.There are many places where it is looked down on teachers to try anything different because the higher ups want them to fallow the model. You will see in cases where the teachers are allowed some leg room that they will take it to make learning more fun. I blame the school boards and politicians more for their ineptness.
I think this is the best thing I have heard to help change the problem with the school system. We are mass producing people ignorant in science and I think this would be thing that changes it. As long as our country makes science 2nd to religion, our economy and our society will continue to fall behind others.
@crumcon i think what he meant is ... the image of Muslims in western countries are not smthing to be proud of(due to reason), and in this time he managed to do something so incredible that ppl will understand there are good and bad in everything ... among christians , Muslims and in every group. :)

Agreed; Gates Foundation should donate generously to Khan Academy, however I think Gates foundation is already doing a lot in achieving its vision, which happens to be something else albeit useful to our society. Obviously Gates Foundation cannot support all the good ideas in the world as its resources are limited too if not mammoth. Support to Khan Academy should come through general users like you and I.

@hyylo Wrong, I'm in education (public school) myself and this is only motivating for me, and I'm sure for many other public school system educators. I for my part am going to advocate this in my own school. The ultimate goal for any teacher should be an enriched learning learning atmosphere in the school.
Yes I agree with you. The goal of the teacher is to educate. But the goal of the large book publishing companies is to sell expensive books.
Teachers do not control the education system. The large companies who make a profit from education control it.
In 10 or 15 years education will become free on the internet and most teachers who teach poor subjects such as drama, music, art and media studies will be sacked. Some large book companies will also shut down.
@hyylo Teachers must be angry with kahn for offering free education? Teachers want their students to learn any way they can. It blows my mind that 80 people agree with this asinine comment.
I do, however, agree that kahn is a great teacher.
i hope khan academy starts to teach english. there are lots of children that go to school but do not learn how to read or write because of the poor standards in school.
@hyylo got to admit it's a good business model, teaching kids poorly so they drop out and end up having to come back for more education plus teaching them slowly so they don't finish their education until half of their lives are over PLUS keeping them stupid so they don't realize they are giving their money to people who aren't doing anything for them.
when i say teachers union i am talking about the powerful companies that keep the cost of education high.
why does it cost $50,000 to go to a decent college or university? someone is making lots of profit from children that want to learn how to read and do maths.
my comment has 100 positive votes so someone must agree with me :) hahaha
I agree that 50,000$ is way too much to pay for school.. But that is not because of Teacher's unions. I urge you to do your research first. High costs of education are due to government cutbacks and the commercialization of education. Teachers get very little pay for what they do. Not all of them are as good as Khan, but many of them do a very good job for little money. Why you blame teacher's unions is beyond me.
yes you are correct. teachers should earn lots of money as they teach children.
however there is a difference between the teachers in the classroom and the teachers union. Do you know who controls the teachers union? Do you know the how much these individuals make? The teachers union are those power individuals that earn millions each year and control the entire education system.
search youtube for ..... Milton Friedman: Education (Part One)....
@hyylo I completely agree. I live in Los Angeles where we have a 50% high school graduation rate.. The public school system has failed America and the teachers and their union should be ashamed of the lack of effort they place on individual students in their classrooms. Like Sal says even if a student gets 90% in a class he's still missing 10% of the lesson and that's a huge gap he's missing. With a "A" you would think that's a good student and he's above average, but still lacks that 10%.

MR Gates by donating to khanacademy youll be helping thousands of people (including your kids and myself),
give him one of those microsoft multitouch tables its peanuts for u....
Btw its amazing that Bill gates who has enough money to buy and entire university for his kids prefers to use Khan's videos. They are really the best tutorials out there
@creat3d That does help kids. The kind of children who won't be born due to such funding are the kind of children who will impede the progress of the others, i.e. the unwanted ones who'll disrupt classes, become criminals, etc.
@creat3d You honestly can't see how many of Africa's problems stem from them constantly doing the Ethiopian boredom dance? Plus it makes it easier to invade when we in the West need some slave labour and cheap resources once China takes over.
Oh, and I'm perfectly healthy and not on any kind of medication.
@myothernameistaken Oh I believe you, I know there are people like you out there that don't need any kind of chemical alteration to their functioning to think like that.
@creat3d If I took it upon myself to care about each and every one of the six or so billion people on this planet I'd be in a padded room by the end of the month.
I want what's best for me and people I like. Why should I give a damn about anyone else?
Gates complains about smart Americans all going to Wall Street instead of R&D. But Gates has gone before the US congress, many times, and argued that even more US tech workers should lose their jobs to H1B visa workers.
Just last year, even as Microsoft was firing US tech workers by the thousands, Microsoft was simultaneously hiring their H1B replacements.
hello Mr gates , yes it would be great if you could donate money to Mr Khan because his tutorials have helped a lot of people like me learn about topics that we needed ....regards
Mr. Gates, please donate to Khan. He is a real person with a real desire to teach and he does it with 'intuition' style and humor. I love him and I am a teacher! Your reputation with me would be move from negative to positive if you donated to Khan!
The teaching mechanisms we see in schools today are so incredibly outdated in relation to our expectations as fresh graduates and compared to our true learning potential.Most education systems and/or teachers lack emotional intelligence which,in my opinion Sal doesn't at all.This should cause concern to the entire education industry.It makes one question whether the education fundamentals and teaching techniques taught by universities are even legitimate.schools are inefficient in my opinion.
Kahn, you truly have a gift!! To be able to connect with so many people around the world with on so many different levels of education, WOW!! I'm honored to be one of your virtual pupils. I will be introducing my son to you soon. Thank you for sharing your genius, its greatly appreciated.
I'm glad that Bill Gates recognizes Khan's incredible ability to teach. It would be cool if he could also make a donation to the Khan academy if he hasn't already.
You can learn the subject of Ordinary Differential Equations within one day, by watching Khan's tutorials. I did and got an A in the course!
Wow you impressed Bill Gates. You've done something a lot of specialist programmers and admirers of Bill Gates couldn't even fathom doing in a million years. You definitely have the right to brag, my friend.
You are way too conservative Mr. Gates. How about you donate 1/10 the worth of the codex Leicester so Mr. Khan can do this and provide for his family :P
Look how interested and motivated Bill Gates was from Khan's efforts. That is the inspiration of education - I suspect Bill watched the Area of Inscribed Equilateral Triangle video and learned something himself.
Congrats Sal! I am so happy that your hard work and generosity is being appreciated. You are an inspiration esp to all those people who have good intentions but do not translate them into action. The world is a better place because of people like you.
finally getting some of the recognition you deserve sal :) who knew i went to the same school as bill gates' kids?! thanks for saving all our asses with these videos sal.
Well done, although the recognition of one man is not as good as the recognition of million's of students world wide. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn more.
Really, wow, you "rub elbows" with Billy Gates. That is pretty cool. Too bad for him that I just switched to Linux a few months ago and fell in love with it. As a matter of fact, I fell in love my my computer all over again. Being 35, and locked out of programming thanks to Micorsoft, we lost part of magic of discovery how our computers operate; we have now found again with Linux. Program, share, change, adapt, all for free, on a platform with the world.
bill gates said khan has an iq of 160. like if you agree (:

A lot of people appreciate it, so get your facts straight.

Agreed; Gates Foundation should donate generously to Khan Academy, however I think Gates foundation is already doing a lot in achieving its vision, which happens to be something else albeit useful to our society. Obviously Gates Foundation cannot support all the good ideas in the world as its resources are limited too if not mammoth. Support to Khan Academy should come through general users like you and I.

@hyylo Wrong, I'm in education (public school) myself and this is only motivating for me, and I'm sure for many other public school system educators.

hi
Yes I agree with you. The goal of the teacher is to educate. But the goal of the large book publishing companies is to sell expensive books.
Teachers do not control the education system. The large companies who make a profit from education control it.
In 10 or 15 years education will become free on the internet and most teachers who teach poor subjects such as drama, music, art and media studies will be sacked. Some large book companies will also shut down.

@hyylo Teachers must be angry with kahn for offering free education? Teachers want their students to learn any way they can. It blows my mind that 80 people agree with this asinine comment.
I do, however, agree that kahn is a great teacher.

@dawa101
when i refer to the teachers union i am talking about the people who control the education system.
teachers that are in the classroom do not decide what is taught to the kids.
Good teachers should be rewarded and rubbish teachers sacked.
If you want some more information about the teachers union search youtube for:
Peter Schiff Tuition College
Milton Friedman Education
Please search for the two things above. You will find them very interesting.

@hyylo got to admit it's a good business model, teaching kids poorly so they drop out and end up having to come back for more education plus teaching them slowly so they don't finish their education until half of their lives are over PLUS keeping them stupid so they don't realize they are giving their money to people who aren't doing anything for them.

when i say teachers union i am talking about the powerful companies that keep the cost of education high.
why does it cost $50,000 to go to a decent college or university? someone is making lots of profit from children that want to learn how to read and do maths.
my comment has 100 positive votes so someone must agree with me :) hahaha
khan is the best. free education for the world.
hyylo 11 months ago
@hyylo
I agree that 50,000$ is way too much to pay for school.. But that is not because of Teacher's unions. I urge you to do your research first. High costs of education are due to government cutbacks and the commercialization of education. Teachers get very little pay for what they do. Not all of them are as good as Khan, but many of them do a very good job for little money. Why you blame teacher's unions is beyond me.
<3 Khan
<3 Learning
<3 You.

@resaf
yes you are correct. teachers should earn lots of money as they teach children.
however there is a difference between the teachers in the classroom and the teachers union. Do you know who controls the teachers union? Do you know the how much these individuals make? The teachers union are those power individuals that earn millions each year and control the entire education system.
search youtube for ..... Milton Friedman: Education (Part One)....
it will answer all your questions
hyylo 11 months ago
@hyylo I completely agree. I live in Los Angeles where we have a 50% high school graduation rate.. The public school system has failed America and the teachers and their union should be ashamed of the lack of effort they place on individual students in their classrooms. Like Sal says even if a student gets 90% in a class he's still missing 10% of the lesson and that's a huge gap he's missing. With a "A" you would think that's a good student and he's above average, but still lacks that 10%.

Gates complains about smart Americans all going to Wall Street instead of R&D. But Gates has gone before the US congress, many times, and argued that even more US tech workers should lose their jobs to H1B visa workers.
Just last year, even as Microsoft was firing US tech workers by the thousands, Microsoft was simultaneously hiring their H1B replacements.

The teaching mechanisms we see in schools today are so incredibly outdated in relation to our expectations as fresh graduates and compared to our true learning potential.Most education systems and/or teachers lack emotional intelligence which,in my opinion Sal doesn't at all.This should cause concern to the entire education industry.It makes one question whether the education fundamentals and teaching techniques taught by universities are even legitimate.schools are inefficient in my opinion.

As a matter of fact, I fell in love my my computer all over again. Being 35, and locked out of programming thanks to Micorsoft, we lost part of magic of discovery how our computers operate; we have now found again with Linux. Program, share, change, adapt, all for free, on a platform with the world.
