Comment on Khan Academy and the Effectiveness of Science Videosparent

Yeah I agree that he did gloss over some of the other Khan features.

About the method the video talks about -- I bought some audio-only lessons for learning French once by Micheal Thomas that (for me anyway) confirms this method. On the audio, the teacher had 2 students present, and the lessons consisted of Michael teaching these two students. The teacher would often ask questions and test their knowledge, and the students often would make mistakes. Naturally he would always correct them. I found it incredibly engaging and effective for myself.
