I've read though most of our comments here and I have a question. Are people concerned with the education of their neighbors kids?
I'll be able to afford private schooling for my children. The average demographic here probably can. I relish at the idea of seeing how a Khan Academy Classroom could teach my child (maybe in some sort of "Free school" environment?) and I realize that public education probably wont be able to cover that.
What I worry about more is that my children's friends wont be able to go to a private school, and while I realize Khan Academy is free online. Most kids will probably be sent to public schools.
I was educated in public school and I don't think it was horrible but I do think we can do better.
I think the question is;
How do we bring this type of learning to public education?
