I never understood why Sal Khan does all the videos himself. Shouldn't they get the best Linear Algebra teacher that they can find for the Linear Algebra series, the best Calculus teacher for the Calculus series, the best Marine Biology teacher for Marine Biology, and so on? Maybe even get two sets of teacher with different lecture styles for each subject?
I've had dozens of amazing teachers throughout my education, all of which were excellent at gripping my attention, having a passion for their subject, and a knack for explaining it extremely well. If I thought my teachers were this good, can you imagine how good the best in the country would be? And what it could do for education to makes those lessons available for the entire world?
It's a shame he does it entirely himself. It's not for lack of funding, that's for sure. Maybe it's an ego thing?
