A halfway engaged HS physics teacher would do far better than the videos I sampled on basic kinematics and newtons laws.

The stuff there is just _begging_ for in person demos.

From what I've seen, KA is better than nothing, or a really indifferent teacher. But If you have a better than average teacher, they're going to far surpass KA.

Reminds me of the quote, "Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer, deserves to be."

I love the quote, but of course, I am concerned that in our push to move to computer-based learning, we push out the teachers who can't be replaced by a computer.
