  • Would you choose to build a house on top of an unfinished foundation? Of course not. Why, then, do we rush students through education when they haven't always grasped the basics? Yes, it's complicated, but educator Sal Khan shares his plan to turn struggling students into scholars by helping them master concepts at their own pace.

    This man literally saved me back in middle school algebra. I used to have so much trouble with algebra that I thought I was going to fail the class until I found Khan academy. Since then I've done really well and im going to be doing honers algebra 2 in freshman year in a month. Sal is a fricking legend.

    In India, everyeone sets a target first. Then does everything to achieve that target. No one cares if you have your base clear or not. Just the target.

    Thanks to Sal my old high school math teacher will think she has lost her mind when she hears I'm majoring in theoretical physics.

    This guy is like the Father of Education for all the students. Because of him, many students who once hated learning have taken an interest in learning.

    I got emotional watching this. I'm just so grateful that this guy exists. Thank you Sal Khan's parents for bringing him to this world.

    I owe Sal everything I know about anything honestly. He's helped me learn chem/bio/every math I've ever taken, and any time I hit one of these "walls" he spoke of, Sal was always there to fill whatever there was that kept me from mastery. I appreciate Sal's passion for education and have nothing but admiration for everything he has given us.
