Well, that's great.
Now in Europe, we fund the government through taxes so that the public education system can do for EVERYONE what Sal Khan did for YOU
So then you no longer have to worry about what your children can do in their lives

My situation was not a failure of our education system. I was just not in a situation that was stable and conducive to learning when I was young. Part of that was my parent’s fault, but they were doing the best they could; part of that was my fault, there are many things I could’ve approached differently.
Although we were poor by US standards at the time, I actually was on the edge of a great school district for most of my early education.
A school system was not going to fix the problems, both situational and self inflicted, that lead to my situation.
And there is no equivalent to what Khan Academy is doing that I am aware of. Part of the value is it has zero marginal cost, so anyone can use it. That’s actually the point. You don’t have to be in the EU to get a great education. You can be in Mauritania, as long as you have internet, you have a shot at receiving an education.
