May 30 2010: Salman Khan has already started the learning revolution - with online teaching - http://www.khanacademy.org He has devoted his life from now on to provide free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
In his talk @Gel 2010 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTXKCzrFh3c , he explains the motivation for doing this.
Some feedback from his students:
"First time I smiled doing a derivative"
"My eldest kid is dancing around in my room here, because she is so excited that she finally found someone that teaches like this"
"Mr. Khan, no teacher has done me any good. This may sound harsh, but I mean it quite literally. I was forced-fed medication to keep from talking and chastised when not speaking when called on... "
I think these quotes clearly show the need and hunger for better education! And also are a solid proof of Sir Robinson's words about how "schools in general" treats students!
