Sal Khan’s 5 most popular quotes
- I never viewed technology as a replacement for the human experience. I viewed it as something that could liberate the human experience.
- Formal education must change. It needs to be brought into closer alignment with the world as it actually is, into closer harmony with the way human beings actually learn and thrive.
- We don’t believe that you should ever replace physical education. Even in a thousand years, a computer will never be able to do so.
- Free educational materials will, at minimum, prepare more people for college and allow them to be more successful once they get there. Most students want credentials that employers respect, and free educational materials alone will not do this.
- You have all this education theory, and people try to make larger statements than maybe what their data would back up, because they’ve done these small experiments that are tied to a very particular case with a very particular implementation… theory definitely matters, but I think dogma matters less.
