Your last point is exactly what needs to happen. Let me just add that on top of cultural and societal components, there's a massive system (the current school system) that would have to be redesigned as well. The amount of checks and balances to keep that system in place is enormous. I'm convinced that forcing it out is the only way to change it. Khan has definitely provided a good beginning, it just isn't there yet.
