Waiting for “Superman” is a 2010 family documentary film from director Davis Guggenheim. The film analyzes the failures of American public education by following several students through the educational system. In “Waiting for ‘Superman,’ ” which opened last Friday, Guggenheim follows five families in their quests to get their children into charter schools he portrays as vastly superior to the ones they’d otherwise attend. With a raft of statistics about the erosion of the U.S. education system, and interviews with a handful of so-called education “reformers,” Guggenheim makes a case for why no child should have to attend a bad school.

The film is drawing a strong positive response from education groups across the nation who hope it will catalyze more public support for change. On Monday, Oprah Winfrey featured the documentary on her show, talking with Guggenheim and Bill Gates, who also appears in the film, and in interview talked about how lucky he was and his children are to be able to attend Private School and how some people not.

Khan’s operational base is a converted walk-in closet in his Silicon Valley home, filled with a few hundred dollars’ worth of video equipment and bookshelves. It is here that Salman Khan produces his online lessons on Math, Science, and other subjects. The Khan Academy, appearing on YouTube and elsewhere is by any measure the most popular educational site online. Khan’s ‘playlist’ of over 1600 tutorials are now seen an average of 70,000 times a day. In any given month, Khan says, he’s reached about 200,000 students.

Distance education has been around for many years, and private (for-profit) schools are also doing very well. What sets the Khan Academy a part, aside for its viral word of mouth, and amazing growth, is that its free and concise. In less than 15 minutes Khan gets to the essence of the topic he’s lecturing about. Obviously you won’t learn topics such as Calculus in one session, the subject is divided into over 190 parts – these components seem to hit the sweet spot of length and substance. Moreover, Khan covers a vast array of topics, ranging from core Math (arithmetic, geometry, algebra,  trigonometry, calculus, and statistics), to Science ( biology, chemistry, and physics), and even economics, history, and more.  

Some sceptics in the education business don’t doubt that Khan means well and is helping students, but they question the impact of a system that doesn’t test performance or allow student-teacher discussion. Furthermore, sceptics have described Khan’s work as more of a library, not an academy. But Khan’s vision involves tens of thousands of tutorials offering world class virtual school, where anyone can learn anything, and (appropriately) his next step involves an interactive web application for user-paced practice and instruction.
