Well, a quick statement first. I do think common core for math is great, I love that kids are learning the concepts behind the math, and not just rote memorization. I think it's great.
Do you think Khan Academy is a good resource for home schooling, and even classrooms? I rely a lot on it (not entirely, but a lot), and I know Khan is bringing his site into line with common core, just not sure how well he's done so.
I think Khan is a good way to brush up on something you used to know. Pedagogically I think it has been too procedure oriented. Maybe that will or has changed.
