Elsewhere on this page, someone comments: "I would love to see one of these 'complaining about Khan Academy' articles with an attached example of the author's Right Way to teach whatever subject."

I'd be interested in your response to that.

I agree the article was too strident, but if you watch his videos I think they do a good job of illustrating his philosophy.

I don't think that the article was too strident at all. (I was a high school math teacher for years, and computers seem utterly useless to me when it comes to teaching kids to think mathematically.)

I'll take a look at the videos, as you suggest.

Fair enough! Here's a good video: http://mrmeyer.com/threeacts/speedoflight/

I like the combination of the video and the info-animation. Really interesting.
