萨尔曼·汗是一位美国教育家，他创立了可汗学院，这是一个免费的在线教育平台和一个组织，他制作了6500多个视频课程，教授各种各样的学术科目，最初的重点是数学和科学。
Education is not an end to itself. You need to know algebra but also how to navigate the world.
教育本身不是目的。你不仅要知道代数，还要知道如何驾驭世界。
A good traditional conceptual instruction is what I got from my better professors at MIT. They would be at a chalkboard, and they would literally be explaining something and working through a problem, but it wasn't rote. They were explaining the underlying theory and processes and intuition behind it.
一个好的传统概念教学是我从麻省理工学院更好的教授那里得到的。他们会在黑板前，他们会解释一些事情，解决一个问题，但这不是死记硬背。他们在解释背后的理论、过程和直觉。
A one-size-fits-all lecture is not the way to go about education.
一刀切的讲座不是教育的方式。
In Idaho, we hope to see educators using Khan Academy to individualize their instruction. Instead of a one-size-fits-all lesson, teachers will be able to focus their attention on specific students who are struggling while the rest of the class engages with material appropriate for them.
在爱达荷州，我们希望看到教育家利用可汗学院使他们的教学个性化。而不是一个一刀切的教训，教师将能够集中他们的注意力在具体的学生谁是挣扎，而其余的班级从事与他们适当的材料。
Rather than saying, 'I can't do this,' 'Sesame Street' encourages us to say, 'I can't do this... yet!' That one word changes everything. It emphasizes that your capability isn't fixed. It highlights the reality that our brain is like a muscle.
“芝麻街”鼓励我们说，“我做不到这一点”，而不是说“我做不到这一点。。。可是这一个词改变了一切。它强调你的能力不是固定的。它突出了我们的大脑就像一块肌肉的现实。
I am infamously bad at asking for money.
我要钱的本事臭名昭著。
I realized that there are many people who are very good students, but they think of themselves as bad students. At the end of the day, what they are really missing is way to understand where their gaps are and a way to address those gaps.
我意识到有很多人是非常好的学生，但他们认为自己是坏学生。归根结底，他们真正缺少的是了解他们的差距在哪里以及解决这些差距的方法。
Some of the beauty of a university is that every professor is given a lot of autonomy over what he or she does. That's also what makes it very hard for even a very forward-thinking president to change courses.
大学的一些优点在于，每个教授都有很大的自主权。这也使得即使是一个非常有远见的总统也很难改弦易辙。
