To someone well-versed on education discussions, this book contains a lot of obvious. I feel like most reasonable people will nod along as they read this book without much disagreement, as a lot of it is not very controversial. For example, a very "insightful" chapter spends several paragraphs getting the point across that some kids learn differently from other kids, or at different pace. The parts I did find interesting were first, Salman's historical account about some of the beginnings of Khan Academy, and second his vision for the ideal classroom (even though it was only discussed in a few rather vague paragraphs). I am a fan of Khan Academy (their mission, not their current execution), but I did not get very much out of this book, so 3 stars seems appropriate. 3/5View all 2 sources
