Mr. Khan. Keep up the great work! You are doing the world a great service!
I've used several videos to help my kids with their math and will continue to do so.

Khan is awesome, I look forward to the day when all the best lecturers lectures are online for free, comprehensive, complete, on any subject. Khan does a great job, but he's just one very good lecturer. I remember our Calculus professor got a standing ovation at the end of the quarter he was so good.

Too bad this article wasn't published on the front page of the Voice. It is a compelling story of intellectual altruism and something one would hope every parent and student would read. Mr. Khan, THANK YOU!

A great job Mr. Khan. Not only do my 4th grade students use you but I've seen your lessons used as far away as Namibia - the San People (Bushmen) in schools so distant the only electricity they have is from solar cells (powering their Apple Macbooks). They use your lessons to study math.
An incredible job and thank you VERY much.

There's an article in this month's Wired about how Khan Academy is being in some schools in Los Altos.
Web Link
My favorite part of the article is this quote from Khan:
After finishing at MIT and working for a few Silicon Valley dotcoms, he headed to Harvard Business School in 2001, where he claims his main motivation was to get married. (“I’m dead serious,” he says. “Silicon Valley in the late ’90s was the absolute worst place to find a wife or a girlfriend.”
