Should ship by default, in those 'one notebook for every kid' programs.

Nice link, Giorgio. Thanks. It looks like the Khan Academy has come a long way since I first heard of it.

I've read people speculating that the Khan Academy could possibly make College professors unnecessary. What a wonderful accomplishment that would be! Just useful knowledge, no expensive parasites teaching children evil doctrines and ideologies!
