This article argues that with all the raves for Khan Academy we shouldn't lose sight of the value of the in-person teaching experience. If the traditional teaching experience was so great, there wouldn't be a need for Khan Academy to fill. But there is. And I expect so long as traditional education adheres to a one-size-fits-all model, in which we must march in lock-step down the learning path, there will be a need for Khan Academy and other non-traditional learning solutions.
