I’m attempting to use it alongside Udacity to grasp Maths, Science, Statistics and Computer Science (well, programming). I’ve not got down to doing everything systematically yet, but it’s all much more effective and efficient than school (I’m 15).
Currently, I’m learning Calculus, and it’s much better than the English education system, even though I have a one-to-one session for one hour per week with my teacher.
On Khan, I have an Earth Badge, and 66,858 points.
As a soon-to-be maths teacher, hearing about high school students going above and beyond the terribly-designed curricula that teachers are forced to inflict on their students warms my heart enormously. May your passion for learning continue to grow, and guide you to ever greater intellectual heights. Have an upvote. :)
Thank you very much :) I’m glad that there’s one more teacher who has an interest in teaching, and not just signalling learning in students—even if that’s the only option governments let them take :(
I agree with what you’ve said, and I believe it applies to most, if not all subjects. I’ve found children don’t thrive in factory-like conditions of quiet and memorising in age dependant groups, and their capabilities aren’t measurable in a one off three hour written exam—people really are different. I think I’d leave school, and teach myself to pass the necessary qualifications to get into uni and so much more, if it weren’t for my school having an excellent music department of the sort I wouldn’t be able to get elsewhere (it’s a music school).
-Because I really do love to learn. I’m with Michel Thomas, that “it’s the learning process that motivates these kids”.
Well, since I am almost complete the whole thing, I have 1.3 million energy points, and 4 suns and 2 earth badges in additions to all the moons and the meteorites.
… Well done, Hackerikiba, it’s great that you’ve gotten so much out of it.
I wasn’t boasting, I was just giving a piece of information as to where I’m at (If you’re wondering why you’ve been downvoted, it’s because you sounded as though you were).
