If I start talking about Salman Khan and his website
I'm probably not going to stop. He does it better anyway.

Talk about hyjacking public education in America, this stuff
doesn't even need permission from the schoolboard to start using it now.
It's subversive like that. And the teachers that are using it absolutely love it.

p.s. for the sake of debate, Steve Jobs can go jump in a river. Splash.

I never did like (Steve)jobs.

If you're good with computers; most people don't

Apple products are just a shiny product that perform the same function as Microsoft products except Apple charges twice as much for their products

Your statement is false, unfortunately.

#1 - #10 on YouTube (by video) are ALL music videos
www.youtube.com...

#1 - #10 on YouTube (by user) are ALL music or entertainment content providers
www.youtube.com...

He's also not in the top 10 of most subscribed.
www.youtube.com...

While I'd really love to see that he would most viewed or most viewed (by single video), he's not.

If you guys want to help his educational revolution spread, go to the website www.khanacademy.com and check out the volunteer outreach group. If anyone needs further direction, I can offer suggestions by message.

And, everyone please remember who gave him the money to quit his job - Bill Gates gave his organization a million, and Google gave him a million too, and other persons also donated but I don't remember their names. So, the next time you are on a thread that talks about Bill Gates diabolically taking over some aspect of our country or another, at least remind them of the huge favor he is doing by supporting Salman Khan.

For those of you who want to know Sal's credentials: he's said to have a 160ish IQ, has multiple degrees from MIT, has a MBA from Harvard, and has a winning personality that makes even the worst topics come to life.

The Los Altos school district, which is very progressive, has already traded their teachers' daily instruction for his videos, if you didn't hear that in the video. It's very exciting to think that our teachers will in the future have the chance to be more useful. Students can get the help they need in class on problems instead of getting "the drill" each day.

We are with you 100% Sal!

Let me guess, you are finding some remote connection to the Bilderbergers or George Bush's nwo plans that bothers you.

Sal is trying to spread his videos around the world. If you've ever watched his videos or seen the comments on them, you'd see students are excited. That's GREAT news.

ETA: I'm disappointed this hasn't gone further here on ATS. Something very positive and worthwhile for students of any age or just anyone wanting to learn something, and only 14 flags so far!
