What about innovation in education where the intervention is making small student to teacher ratios more accessible?

The new Khan TED Institute is doubling down on the MOOC playbook, hoping that the second time is somehow going to play out better than the first. The thesis seems to be: Use technology to bring down the cost to deliver curriculum and add an assessment layer to credential students at scale. It’s not that the curriculum doesn’t matter, but the failure here, and in many initiatives that seek to use technology to address the problems in education, is that they fundamentally miss the most important part, human teachers. It’s not that technology can’t be useful in education, but the core problem is not the delivery of curriculum. Whatever you think of the Alpha School model, at least they seem to have more awareness about this part. I’m not seeing it in Khan’s new project.
